Pretty Women Lyrics - Sweeney Todd

Judge Turpin: "Mr. Todd?" 

Sweeney Todd: "At your service... An honour to receive 

your patronage, my lord." 

Judge Turpin: "Do you know me, sir?" 

Sweeney Todd: "Who in this wide world does not know the 

great Judge Turpin? And what may I do for 

you today, sir? A stylish trimming of the hair? 

A 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 a more seductive tone 

A sprinkling perhaps of French cologne 

But first, sir, I think-- a shave 

Sweeney Todd: The closest I ever gave 

[Sweeney Todd whistles] 

Judge Turpin: "You're 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 heart leap higher 

What more-- 

Sweeney Todd: What more 

BOTH: Can man require 

Judge Turpin: Than love, sir? 

Sweeney Todd: More than love, sir 

Judge Turpin: What, sir? 

Sweeney Todd: Women 

Judge Turpin: Ah, yes - women 

Sweeney Todd: Pretty women 

Judge Turpin: Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom 

Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom 

[Sweeney Todd whistles] 

Sweeney Todd: 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 

Sweeney Todd: My lord, 

And who, may it be said is your intended, sir? 

Judge Turpin: My ward 

"And pretty as a rosebud." 

Sweeney Todd: "Pretty as her mother?" 

Judge Turpin: "What? What was that?" 

Sweeney Todd: "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 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 

Sweeney Todd: Blowing out their, 

Judge Turpin: Blowing out their 

BOTH: Candles 

Sweeney Todd: Or - combing out their, 

Judge Turpin: Combing out their 

BOTH: Hair 

Judge Turpin: Then they leave-- 

Sweeney Todd: Even when they leave, 

[Simultaneously:] 

Judge Turpin: Even when they leave you and vanish 

They somehow can still remain 

There with you 

There with you 

Sweeney Todd: They still 

Are there 

They're there 

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, sir! 

Sweeney Todd: Pretty women, here's to 

Pretty women, all the 

Pretty women...
