Pretty Women

[SWEENEY TODD]
What may I do for you today sir? Stylish trimming of the hair? Soothing skin massage? Sit, sir. Sit

[JUDGE TURPIN]
You see, sir, a man infatuate with love
Her ardent and 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

[TODD]
The closest I ever gave
*whistles*

[JUDGE TURPIN]
In a merry mood today, Mr. Todd?

[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 heart leap higher. What more?

[TODD]
What more...

[JUDGE TURPIN & TODD]
...can man require...

[JUDGE TURPIN]
...than love, sir?

[TODD]
More than love, sir?

[JUDGE TURPIN]
What, sir?

[TODD]
Women

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Ah yes, women

[TODD]
Pretty women

(Tone changes)

[TODD]
Now then, my friend
Now to your purpose
Patience. Enjoy it
Revenge can’t be taken in haste

[JUDGE TURPIN, interrupting]
Make haste and if we wed you’ll be commended, sir

[TODD]
My lord…
And who may it be said is your intended, sir?

[JUDGE TURPIN]
My ward
And pretty as a rosebud

[TODD]
Pretty as her mother?

[JUDGE TURPIN]
What? What was that?

[TODD, spoken]
Nothing, sir. Nothing
May we proceed?

(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...

[TODD]
Stay within you

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Glancing...

[TODD]
Stay forever...

[JUDGE TURPIN]
...Breathing lightly

[TODD]
Pretty women

[JUDGE TURPIN & TODD]
Pretty women!
(staggered parts)
Blowing out the candles or...
ST: Combing out their hair
JT: Combing out their hair then they leave
ST: Even when they leave they still...
JT: Even when they leave you and vanish they somehow can still can remain....
ST: ...out there
JT: ....there with you
ST: There, there are
JT: There with you are
(Together)

At their mirrors

[JUDGE TURPIN]
In their gardens

[TODD]

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Flower-picking

Proof of heaven as you're living
