Sweeney Todd Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
Ladies in Their Sensitivities
JUDGE: Walk home with me, for 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: Ah sir, happy news indeed.
JUDGE: 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.
JUDGE: Perhaps if she greets me cordially upon my return, I should give her a
small gift. ..
BEADLE:
Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord,
Have a fragile sensibility.
When a girl's emergent,
Probably it's urgent
You defer to her gentility, my lord.
Personal disorder cannot be ignored,
Given their genteel proclivities.
Meaning no offense, it
Happens they resents it,
Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord.
JUDGE: Stubble, you say? Perhaps at times I am a little overhasty 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 grace my lord
And musk to enhance the chase, my lord,
You'll dazzle the girl until
She bows to your every will.
JUDGE: Perhaps you may be right. Take me to him.
