Pretty Women

Lyrics

[TODD, spoken] And what may I do for you, sir? A stylish trimming of the hair? A soothing skin massage? [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 [TODD whistles cheerfully.] [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] You're 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 [TODD lathers the JUDGE's face, then turns to his razor.] Now then, my friend Now to your purpose Patience, enjoy it Revenge can't be taken in haste [JUDGE TURPIN] 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 [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] And pretty as a rosebud [TODD, spoken] Pretty as her mother? [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] What? What was that? [TODD, spoken] Oh, nothing, sir Nothing, nothing May we proceed? [TODD] 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! Blowing out their candles or Combing out their hair... [JUDGE TURPIN, TODD] Then they leave... Even when they leave you (Even when they leave) And vanish, they somehow (They still) Can still remain (Are) There with you (There) There with you (They're there) [JUDGE TURPIN & TODD] Ah, pretty women... [TODD] At their mirrors... [JUDGE TURPIN] In their gardens... [TODD] Letter-writing... [JUDGE TURPIN] Flower-picking... [TODD] Weather-watching... [JUDGE TURPIN & TODD] How they make a man sing— Proof of heaven As you're living— Pretty women, sir! [JUDGE TURPIN, TODD] Pretty women, yes! (Pretty women, here's to) Pretty women, sir! (Pretty women) Pretty women! (All the) Pretty women, sir! (Pretty women...) Pretty women... [ANTHONY] She says she'll marry me Sunday Everything's set, we leave tonight [JUDGE TURPIN] You! [ANTHONY, spoken] Judge Turpin! [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] There is indeed a higher power to warn me thus in time! Johanna, elope with you? I'll lock her up in some obscure retreat Where neither you nor any other vile corrupting youth Shall ever lay eyes on her again! [ANTHONY, spoken] But, sir, I beg of you! [JUDGE TURPIN, spoken] And as for you, barber! It is all too clear what company you keep Service them well and hold their custom For you'll have none of mine! [ANTHONY, spoken] Mr. Todd! [TODD, spoken] Out!
