And what may I do for you, sir? A stylish trimming of the hair? A soothing skin massage? You see sir a man infatuate with love Her ardent and 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 The closest I ever gave You're in a merry mood today, Mr. Todd. 'Tis your delight, sir, catching fire From one man to the next 'Tis true, sir, love can still inspire The blood to pound, the heart leap higher What more What more, what more an man require Than love, sir? More than love, sir What, sir? Women Ah yes, women Pretty women Now then, my friend Now to your purpose Patience, enjoy it Revenge can't be taken in haste Make haste, and if we wed You'll be commended, sir My lord And who may it be said Is your intended, sir? My ward And pretty as a rosebud Pretty as her mother? What? What was that? Oh, nothing, sir. Nothing, nothing. May we proceed? 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 Silhouetted Stay within you Glancing Stay forever Breathing lightly Pretty women Pretty women! Blowing out their candles or Combing out their hair Then they leave Even when they leave you Even when they leave And vanish, they somehow They still Can still remain Are There with you There There with you They're there Ah, pretty women At their mirrors In their gardens Letter-writing Flower-picking Weather-watching How they make a man sing Proof of heaven As you're living Pretty women, sir! Pretty women, yes! Pretty women, here's to Pretty women, sir! Pretty women Pretty women! All the Pretty women, sir! Pretty women Pretty women She says she'll marry me Sunday Everything's set, we leave tonight You! Judge Turpin! There is indeed a higher power to warn me thus in time! Johanna, elope with you? I'll lock her up in some obscure retreat Where neither you nor any other vile corrupting youth shall ever lay eyes on her again! But, sir, I beg of you! And as for you, barber! It is all too clear what company you keep Service them well and hold their custom for you'll have none of mine! Mr. Todd! Out!
