Sweeney Todd:

"What can I do for you today sir? Stylish trimming of the hair? Soothing skin massage. Sit sir. Sit."

Judge Turpin: (sung)

"You see sir a man infatued with love. Her ardent amd 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."

Sweeney Todd: (sung)

The closest I ever gave.

whistles

Judge Turpin: (spoken)

In a merry mood today Mr. Todd?

(sung)

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 heartly pyre. What more-

Sweeney Todd:

What more?

Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd:

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:

bahbahbumbumbumbumbumbum, bahabahbumbumbum-

Sweeney Todd joins in, whistling in harmony:

whistles

-bahbahbumbumbahbumbum, bahbahbumbumbumbahbum, bum, bahbahbahbumbumbum.

Sweeney Todd:

Now then, my friend.

Now to your purpose.

Patience. Enjoy it.

Revenge can’t be taken in haste.

Judge Turpin:

Make haste of it, 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.

Pretty as a rose bud....

Sweeney Todd:

Pretty as her mother?

Judge Turpin: (spoken)

*What?* What was that?

Sweeney Todd: (spoken)

Nothing sir. Nothing.

(sung)

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,

Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd:(alternate together)

Pretty women!

Sweeney Todd: Blowing out their candles or

combing out their hair,

Judge Turpin: Combing out their hair then they leave

Even when they leave you and vainish they somehow can still can remain there with you

Sweeney Todd: Even when they leave

They still are there.

They're there...

Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin together:

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.

Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:

How they make a man sing!

Proof of heaven as you're living,

Pretty women!

Sweeney Todd:

Sir,

Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:

pretty women!

Sweeney Todd:Yes!

Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:

Pretty women,

Sweeney Todd:

All of them!

Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin:

Pretty women,

Pretty women,

Pretty women!*
