Ladies In Their Sensitivities

作词 : Stephen Sondheim

作曲 : Stephen Sondheim

"Come, walk home with me, I have news for you."

"In order to shield her from the evils of this world"

"I have decided to marry Johanna next Monday"

"Ah, sir, happy news, indeed!"

"Strange, when I offered myself to her"

"She showed a certain reluctance"

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 in their sensitivities, my lord

Have a fragile sensibility

When a girl's emergent

Probably, it's urgent

You differ to her gentility, my lord

Personal disorder cannot be ignored

Given their gentile proclivities

Meaning no offenses it

Happens, they resense it

Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord

"Stubble you say?"

"Perhaps at times I am a little over-hasty with my morning ablutions."

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

"Perhaps you're right! Take me to him!"

(Beadle: The name is Todd)

(We'd best not wait until Monday)

Sir, I concur

And fully, too (It isn't right) (Beadle: Sweeney Todd)

(We'd best be married on Sunday)

Saturday, sir

Would also do (Or else tonight)

I think I heard a noise (Fear not)

I mean another noise! (Like what?)

Oh, never mind, just a noise

(You mustn't mind) Just another noise

(It's a noise, just another noise) Something in the street

(Something in the street) I'm a silly little

(You silly--) Ninnynoddle --

Kiss me

Oh, sir...

(We'll go to Paris on Monday)

What shall I wear?

I daren't pack (We'll take a train)

With you beside me on Sunday

What will I care what things I lack? (Then sail to Spain)

I'll take my reticule

(Why take your reticule?) I need my reticule

(We'll buy a reticule) You mustn't think

(I'd never think) Me a fool

(You a fool) But my reticule

(But a reticule) Never leaves my side

(Leave it all aside) It's the only thing

(And begin again and) My mother gave me --

(Kiss me!) Kiss me! (Beadle: The name is Todd)

Kiss me! (Turpin: Todd)

(I know a place where we can go tonight) We'll go there

(Kiss me!) Kiss me! (Beadle: Sweeney Todd)

(We have a place where) We have a place (Turpin: Todd)

(we can go tonight) where we can go (Beadle: Sweeney Todd)

(I loved you) I loved you

(Even as I saw you) Even as I saw you

(Even as It did not) Even as It does not

(Matter that I did) Matter that I still

(Not know your) Don't know your (Beadle: Sweeney Todd)

(name) name, sir

(Johanna) Even as I saw you

(Johanna) Even as it does not

(Johanna) Matter that I still

Don't know your name

(Anthony)

"Turpin: Todd?"

"Beadle: Todd."

Anthony... ("Turpin: Todd, eh?")

I'll marry Anthony Sunday (You marry Anthony Sunday) (Beadle: Ladies in their sensi-)

That's what I'll do (That's what you'll do) (Beadle: -tivities)

No matter what! (No matter what!) (Beadle: My lord) (Turpin: Pray lead the way)

I knew you'd come for me one day (I knew I'd come for you one day) (Beadle: Have a fragile sensi-)

Only afraid that you'd forgot (Only afraid that you'd forgot) (Beadle: -bility) (Turpin: Just as you say)

I feared you'd never come (Marry me, marry me, miss) (Beadle: When a girl's)

That you'd been called away (You'll marry me Sunday) (Beadle: emergent)

That you'd been killed (Favor me, favor me) (Beadle: Probably)

Had the plague (With your hand) (Beadle: it's)

Were in debtor's jail (Promise) (Beadle: urgent)

Trampled by a horse (Marry me, marry me) (Beadle: Ladies in)

Gone to sea again (That you'll marry me) (Beadle: their sen-)

Arrested by the -- (Enough of all this) (Beadle: -sitivities)

Oh, sir... (Ah, miss...)

Oh, sir... (Ah, miss...) (Beadle: Sensitivities)

(Ah, miss...) Oh, sir... (Turpin: Todd)

(Ah, miss...) Oh, sir...

(Ah, miss...) Oh, sir...

(Ah, miss...) Oh, sir...

Oh, sir...
