Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd - Ladies In Their Sensitivities (2007) lyrics

Performed by:

Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) - [speaking]

Beadle Bamford (Timothy Spall)

Judge Turpin: “I have news for you, my friend. In order to shield

her from the evils of this world, I have decided to

marry my dear Johanna.”

Beadle Bamford: “Oh, sir, happy news indeed!”

Judge Turpin: “Strange, though. When I offered myself to her, she

showed a certain... reluctance.”

Beadle Bamford: Excuse me, my lord

May I request, my lord

Permission, my lord, to speak

Forgive me if I suggest, my lord

You’re looking less than your best, my lord

There’s powder upon your vest, my lord

And stubble upon your cheek

And ladies, my lord, are weak

Judge Turpin: “Stubble, you say?

…Perhaps I am a little over-hasty in the mornings.”

Beadle Bamford: Fret not though, my lord

I know a place, my lord

A barber, my lord, of skill

Thus armed with a shaven face, my lord

Some odor cologne to brace, my lord

And musk to enhance the chase, my lord

You’ll dazzle the girl until…

Judge Turpin: “Until?”

Beadle Bamford: She bows to your every will

Judge Turpin: “A barber? Take me to him.”
