Thomas Z. Shepard - Ladies in Their Sensitivities lyrics

[TURPIN] I have news for you my friend: In order to shield her from the evils of this world I have decided to marry Johanna next Monday [BEADLE] Ah, sir; happy news, indeed! [TURPIN] Strange, though— 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 and their sensitivities, my lord! Have a fragile sensibility When a girl's emergent Probably, it's urgent You refer to her gentility, my lord! Personal disorder cannot be ignored Given their gentile proclivities Meaning no offenses it Happens, they resense it Ladies and their sensitivities, my lord! [TURPIN] 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 sk** Thus armed with a shaven face, my lord Some eau de cologne to grace, my lord And musk to enhance the chase, my lord You'll dazzle the girl until She bows to your every will! [TURPIN] Perhaps you're right! Take me to him! [BEADLE] The name is Todd [ANTHONY] We'd best not wait until Monday [JOHANNA] Sir, I concur And fully, too [BEADLE] 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!

[JOHANNA] With you beside me on Sunday What will I care what things I lack? [ANTHONY] Then sail to Spain ... [JOHANNA] I'll take my reticule I need my reticule You mustn't think Me a fool But my reticule Never leaves my side It's the only thing My mother gave me — [ANTHONY] Why take your reticule? We'll buy a reticule I'd never think You a fool But a reticule — Leave it all aside And begin again and [JOHANNA/ANTHONY] Kiss me! [JOHANNA] Kiss me! [ANTHONY] I know a place where we can go tonight We'll go there [BEADLE] The name is Todd [TURPIN] Todd? [JOHANNA] Kiss me! We have a place where we can go [ANTHONY] Kiss me!
