Sweeney Todd Soundtrack – Pretty Women lyrics
TODD:
And what may I do for you today, sir?
A stylish trimming of the hair? A
soothing skin massage?
Sit sir, sit
JUDGE:
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
*Whistling*
JUDGE:
You're in a merry mood today, Mr.
Todd.
TODD:
'Tis your delight, sir, catching fire
From one man to the next.
JUDGE:
'Tis true, sir, love can still inspire
The blood to pound, the heart leap higher.
BOTH:
What more, what more can man require
JUDGE:
Than love, sir?
TODD:
More than love, sir.
JUDGE:
What, sir?
TODD:
Women.
JUDGE:
Ah yes, women.
TODD:
Pretty women.
JUDGE:
Ba ba ba ba ba ba...
TODD:
*whistling* ...
Now then, my friend.
Now to your purpose.
Patience, enjoy it.
Revenge can't be taken in haste.
JUDGE:
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:
My ward.
And pretty as a rosebud.
TODD:
Pretty as her mother?
JUDGE:
Huh? What was that?
TODD:
Oh, nothing, sir.
Nothing.
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:
Silhouetted...
TODD:
Stay within you,
JUDGE:
Glancing...
TODD:
Stay forever,
JUDGE:
Breathing lightly...
TODD:
Pretty women,
BOTH:
Pretty women!
Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair,
Even when they leave
They still are there.
They're there
Ah! Pretty women,
TODD:
At their mirrors,
JUDGE:
In their gardens,
TODD:
Letter-writing,
JUDGE:
Flower-picking,
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! All of them!
Pretty women!
Pretty women!
