Stephen Sondheim Ladies In Their Sensitivities (Beadle) Lyrics

-Judge (spoken)-
I have news for you my friend
In order to shield her from the evils of this world,
I have decided to marry my dear Johanna.

-Beadle (spoken)-
Ah, sir happy news indeed.

-Judge (spoken)-
Strange, when I offered myself to her,
she showed a certain reluctance.

-Beadle (sung)-
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

-Judge (spoken)-
Stubble you say?
Perhaps I am a little over hasty in the mornings

-Beadle (sung)-
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 praise my lord,
And musk to enhance the chase my lord,
You'll dazzle the girl until.

-Judge (spoken)-
Until??

-Beadle (sung)-
She bows to your every will

Judge (spoken)
A barber? Take me to him.
