Lyrics Ladies in Their Sensitivities - Luke Brady , Lucy May Barker

I have news for you my friend: 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, though— 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 and their sensitivities, my lord!
Have a fragile sensibility
When a girl's emergent
Probably, it's urgent
You refer to her gentility, my lord!
Personal disorder cannot be ignored
Given their gentile proclivities
Meaning no offenses it
Happens, they resense it
Ladies and 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!

The name is Todd

We'd best not wait until Monday

Sir, I concur
And fully, too

Sweeney Todd

It isn't right
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
Just another noise
Something in the street
I'm a silly little
Ninnynoddle —
You mustn't mind
It's a noise
Just another noise
Something in the street
You silly —

Kiss me!

Oh, sir...

We'll go to Paris on Monday

What shall I wear?
I daren't pack!

We'll ride 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
I need my reticule
You mustn't think
Me a fool
But my reticule
Never leaves my side
It's the only thing
My mother gave me —

Why take your reticule?
We'll buy a reticule
I'd never think
You a fool
But a reticule —
Leave it all aside
And begin again and

Kiss me!

Kiss me!

I know a place where we can go tonight
We'll go there
The name is Todd

Todd?

Kiss me!
We have a place where we can go
Kiss me!
We have a place where we can go tonight
Todd. Sweeney Todd

Todd ...

Todd

I loved you
Even as
I saw you
Even as
It did not
Matter that I did
Not know your name
Johanna
Johanna
Johanna...
I loved you
Even as
I saw you
Even as
It does not
Matter that I still
Don't know your name, sir
Even as I saw you
Even as it does not
Matter that I still
Don't know your name
Todd... Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd

Anthony

Todd?

Todd

Anthony...
Todd, eh?

I'll marry Anthony Sunday
That's what
I'll do
No matter what!
I knew you'd come for me
One day
Only afraid that you'd forgot.
You marry Anthony Sunday
That's what you'll do
No matter what!
I knew I'd come for you
One day
Only afraid that you'd forgot
Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord

Pray lead the way

Have a fragile sensibility

Just as you say

I feared you'd never come
That you'd been called away
That you'd been killed
Had the plague
Were in debtor's jail
Trampled by a horse
Gone to sea again
Arrested by the ...
Marry me, marry me, miss
You'll marry me Sunday
Favor me, favor me
With your hand
Promise
Marry me, marry me
That you'll marry me —
Enough of all this ...
When a girl's emergent
Probably it's urgent

Ladies in their sensitivities

Oh, sir...

Ah, miss...

Oh, sir...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
Ah, miss ...
Ah, miss
Ah, miss ...
Ah, miss ...
Ah, miss . .

Todd...
