Sweeney Todd - Pretty Women lyrics
Sweeney Todd:
"What can I do for you today sir? Stylish trimming of the hair? Soothing skin massage. Sit sir. Sit."
Judge Turpin: (sung)
"You see sir a man infatued with love. Her ardent amd eager slave. So fetch the pomade and pumice stone
and lend me a more seductive tone
a sprinkling perhaps of French cologne but first sir I think a shave."
Sweeney Todd: (sung)
The closest I ever gave.
whistles
Judge Turpin: (spoken)
In a merry mood today Mr. Todd?
(sung)
Sweeney Todd:
Tis your delight, sir, catching fire from one man to the next.
Judge Turpin:
Tis true, sir, love can still inspire the blood to pound the heartly pyre. What more-
Sweeney Todd:
What more?
Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd:
Can man require?
Judge Turpin:
Than love sir?
Sweeney Todd:
More than love sir.
Judge Turpin:
What sir?
Sweeney Todd:
Women.
Judge Turpin:
Ah, yes women.
Sweeney Todd:
Pretty women.
Judge Turpin:
bahbahbumbumbumbumbumbum, bahabahbumbumbum-
Sweeney Todd joins in, whistling in harmony:
whistles
-bahbahbumbumbahbumbum, bahbahbumbumbumbahbum, bum, bahbahbahbumbumbum.
Sweeney Todd:
Now then, my friend.
Now to your purpose.
Patience. Enjoy it.
Revenge can’t be taken in haste.
Judge Turpin:
Make haste of it, and if we wed, *you'll* be commended sir!
Sweeney Todd
My lord…!
And who may it be said is your intended, sir?
Judge Turpin:
My ward.
Pretty as a rose bud....
Sweeney Todd:
Pretty as her mother?
Judge Turpin: (spoken)
*What?* What was that?
Sweeney Todd: (spoken)
Nothing sir. Nothing.
(sung)
Pretty women,
Fascinating...
Sipping coffee,
Dancing...
Pretty women,
Are a wonder.
Pretty women...
Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair.
Something in them cheers the air.
Pretty women,
Judge Turpin:
Silhouetted...
Sweeney Todd:
Stay within you,
Judge Turpin:
Glancing...
Sweeney Todd:
Stay forever,
Judge Turpin:
Breathing lightly...
Sweeney Todd:
Pretty women,
Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd:(alternate together)
Pretty women!
Sweeney Todd: Blowing out their candles or
combing out their hair,
Judge Turpin: Combing out their hair then they leave
Even when they leave you and vainish they somehow can still can remain there with you
Sweeney Todd: Even when they leave
They still are there.
They're there...
Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin together:
Ah! Pretty women,
Sweeney Todd:
At their mirrors,
Judge Turpin:
In their gardens,
Sweeney Todd:
Letter-writing,
Judge Turpin:
Flower-picking,
Sweeney Todd:
Weather-watching.
Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:
How they make a man sing!
Proof of heaven as you're living,
Pretty women!
Sweeney Todd:
Sir,
Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:
pretty women!
Sweeney Todd:Yes!
Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:
Pretty women,
Sweeney Todd:
All of them!
Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:
Pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women!*
