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

Judge Turpin:
"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:
"The closest I ever gave"
*whistles*

Judge Turpin:
"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 heartly pyre. What more"

Sweeney Todd:
"What more?"

Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd:
"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!
