Stephen Sondheim Sweeney Todd/Pretty Women Lyrics
Sweeney Todd: (spoken)
What may I do for you today, sir?
A stylish trimming of the hair?
Soothing skin massage?
Sit, sir, sit.
Judge Turpin:
You see sir a man infatued with love
her ardent and eager slave.
so fetch the pommade and pomice stone
and lend me a more seductive tone,
a sprinkling perhaps of french cologne
but first sir, I think, a shave
Sweeney Todd:
The closest I ever gave.
Judge Turpin: (spoken)
In a merry mood today, Mr. Todd?
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 pire
What more..
Sweeney Todd: (simultaniously)
What more can man require?
Judge Turpin: (simultaniously)
..can man require
than love sir?
Sweeney Todd:
More than love sir
Judge Turpin:
What sir?
Sweeney Todd:
Women.
Judge Turpin:
Oh yes, women
Sweeney Todd:
Pretty women.
*whistling and b__-b__s*
Sweeney Todd:
Now then my friend
Now to your purpose
Patience, enjoy it
Revenge can't be taken in haste
Judge Turpin:
Make hasten if your work will be commended sir
Sweeney Todd:
My lord.
And who may it be said is your intended sir?
Judge Turpin:
My ward.
(spoken) And pretty as a rosebud.
Sweeney Todd: (spoken)
And pretty as her mother.
Judge Turpin: (spoken)
Hmm? What was that?
Sweeney Todd: (spoken)
Nothing sir.
Nothing.
(singing)
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,
BOTH:
Pretty women!
Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair,
Sweeney Todd: (simultaniously)
Even when they leave
They still are there.
They're there
Judge Turpin: (simultaniously)
Then they leave,
Even when they leave you and vanish
They somehow still can remain there
With you,
There with you
BOTH:
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.
BOTH:
How they make a man sing!
Proof of heaven as you're living,
Pretty women!
Sir!
Pretty Women!
Yes, pretty women!
Here's to pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women
