Ladies in Their Sensitivities

Lyrics

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] Come, walk home with me I have news for you In order to shield her from the evils of this world I have decided to marry Johanna next Monday [BEADLE, spoken] Ah, sir, happy news, indeed! [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] Strange—when I offered myself to her She showed a certain reluctance [BEADLE] 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 Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord Have a fragile sensibility When a girl's emergent Probably it's urgent You defer to her gent- Ility, my lord Personal disorder cannot be ignored Given their genteel proclivities Meaning no offense, it Happens they resents it Ladies in their sensit- Ivities, my lord! [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] Stubble you say? Perhaps at times I am a little over-hasty With my morning ablutions... [BEADLE] 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 eau de cologne to brace my lord And musk to enhance the chase, my lord You'll dazzle the girl until She bows to your every will [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] Perhaps you're right Take me to him [BEADLE] The name is Todd [ANTHONY] We'd best not wait until Monday [JOHANNA & BEADLE] Sir, I concur And fully, too (Sweeney Todd) [ANTHONY] It isn't right We'd best be married on Sunday [JOHANNA] Saturday, sir Would also do [ANTHONY] Or else tonight [JOHANNA] I think I heard a noise [ANTHONY] Fear not [JOHANNA] I mean another noise! [ANTHONY] Like what? [JOHANNA & ANTHONY] Oh, never mind Just a noise Just another noise (You musn't mind) Something in the street (It's a noise) I'm a silly little (Just another noise) Ninnynoddle— (Something in the street) You silly [JOHANNA & ANTHONY] Kiss me! [JOHANNA] Oh, sir... [ANTHONY] We'll go to Paris on Monday [JOHANNA] What shall I wear? I daren't pack! [ANTHONY] We'll take a train... [JOHANNA] With you beside me on Sunday What will I care What things I lack? [ANTHONY] Then sail to Spain... [JOHANNA & ANTHONY] I'll take my reticule I need a reticule (Why take your reticule?) You mustn't think (We'll buy a reticule) Me a fool (I'd never think) But my reticule (You a fool) Never leaves my side (But a reticule—) It's the only thing (Leave it all aside) My mother gave me— (And begin again and) Kiss me! (Kiss me!) Kiss me! I know a place where we can go We'll go there (Tonight) Kiss me! (Kiss me!) We have a place where we can (We have a place where we can) Go tonight (Go tonight) [BEADLE] The name is Todd [JUDGE TURPIN] Todd? [BEADLE] Todd. Sweeney Todd [JUDGE TURPIN] Todd [BEADLE] Todd [JOHANNA, ANTHONY, JUDGE & BEADLE] I loved you (I loved you) (Sweeney Todd) Even as I saw you (Even as I saw you) (Todd...) Even as it does not (Even as it did not) (Todd...) Matter that I still (Matter that I did) Don't know your name, sir (Not know your name) (Sweeney Todd) Even as I saw you (Todd...) Even as it does not (Johanna...) (Todd...) Matter that I still (Johanna...) Don't know your name (Johanna...) [ANTHONY, spoken] Anthony [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] Todd? [BEADLE, spoken] Todd [JOHANNA, spoken] Anthony! [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] Todd, eh? [JOHANNA & ANTHONY] I'll marry Anthony Sunday (You'll marry Anthony Sunday) That's what I'll do (That's what you'll do) No matter what! (No matter what!) I knew you'd come for me one day (I knew I'd come for you one day) Only afraid that you'd forgot (Only afraid that you'd forgot) [BEADLE] Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord... [JUDGE TURPIN] Pray lead the way [BEADLE] Have a fragile sensibility [JUDGE] Just as you say [JOHANNA & ANTHONY] I feared you'd never come (Marry me, marry me, miss) That you'd been called away (You'll marry me Sunday) That you'd been killed (Favor me, favor me) Had the plague (With your hand) Were in debtor's jail (Promise) Trampled by a horse (Marry me, marry me) Gone to sea again (That you'll marry me) Arrested by the... (Enough of all this...) [BEADLE] When a girl's emergent Probably it's urgent... Ladies in their sensitivities [JOHANNA] Oh, sir [ANTHONY] Ah, miss... [JOHANNA, ANTHONY, BEADLE, JUDGE] Oh, sir...
