Ladies in Their Sensitivities

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
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.
[BEADLE, spoken]
Ah, sir, happy news, indeed!
[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Strange—when I offered myself to her, she showed a certain reluctance.
[BEADLE]
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 defer to her gent-
Ility, my lord
Personal disorder cannot be ignored
Given their genteel proclivities
Meaning no offense, it
Happens they resents it
Ladies in their sensit-
Ivities, my lord!
[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Stubble you say? Perhaps at times I am a little over-hasty with my morning ablutions...
[BEADLE]
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 brace my lord
And musk to enhance the chase, my lord
You'll dazzle the girl until
She bows to your every will
[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Perhaps you're right. Take me to him.
[BEADLE]
The name is Todd
[ANTHONY]
We'd best not wait until Monday
[JOHANNA, BEADLE]
Sir, I concur

[ANTHONY]

[JOHANNA]
I think I heard a noise
[ANTHONY]
Fear not
[JOHANNA]
I mean another noise!
[ANTHONY]
Like what?
[JOHANNA, ANTHONY]
Oh, never mind
Just a noise
Just another noise You musn't mind
Something in the street It's a noise
I'm a silly little Just another noise
Ninnynoddle— Something in the street
You silly
[JOHANNA & ANTHONY]
Kiss me!
[JOHANNA]
Oh, sir...
[ANTHONY]
We'll go to Paris on Monday
[JOHANNA]
What shall I wear?
I daren't pack!
[ANTHONY]
We'll take a train...
[JOHANNA]
With you beside me on Sunday
What will I care
What things I lack?
[ANTHONY]
Then sail to Spain...
[JOHANNA, ANTHONY]
I'll take my reticule
I need a reticule Why take your reticule?
You mustn't think We'll buy a reticule
Me a fool I'd never think
But my reticule You a fool
Never leaves my side But a reticule—
It's the only thing Leave it all aside
My mother gave me— And begin again and
Kiss me! Kiss me!
Kiss me!
I know a place where we can go
We'll go there Tonight
Kiss me! Kiss me!
We have a place where we can We have a place where we can
Go tonight Go tonight
