[Judge Turpin:]
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 Bamford:]
Ah, sir, happy news indeed!
[Judge Turpin:]
Strange though,
When I offered myself to her
She showed a certain... reluctance.
[Beadle Bamford:]
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 Turpin:]
Stubble you say?
Perhaps I am a little over-hasty in the mornings...
[Beadle Bamford:]
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...
[Judge Turpin:]
Until?
[Beadle Bamford:]
She bows to your every will.
[Judge Turpin:]
Barber? Take me to him.
[Beadle Bamford:]
His name is Todd, my lord
And he is the very last word in barbering.
