Achhmed Playtoy to Classy Dame of the Si's blog: "Pretty Women"

I'm bored and into this song for the date posted. I particularly like the lyrics. It's true.... "even when they leave, they stay." Enjoy. Performed by: Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp) Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) _____________________________________________________________________________ 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...
