Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
My ward
And pretty as a rosebud
As pretty as her mother?
What? What was that?
Oh, nothing, sir, nothing, may we proceed?
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Pretty women
Silhouetted
Stay within you
Glancing
Stay forever
Breathing lightly
Pretty women
Pretty women
Blowing out their candles, or
Blowing out their candles
Combing out their hair
Combing out their hair
[Verse 3]
Then they leave
Even when they leave
Even when they leave you and vanish
They somehow can still remain
They still are there
There with you
There, there
There with you
[Chorus]
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
Pretty women, sir
Pretty women
All the pretty women
Pretty women
[Outro]
Johanna marries me Sunday
Everything's set, we leave tonight
You!
Judge Turpin
Oh, there is indeed a higher power to warn me thus in time
Johanna, elope with you? I will 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's all too clear what company you keep
Service them well and hold their custom, for you will have none of mine!
