Lyrics[]

Turpin:
(spoken) Walk home with me,
For I have news for you.
In order to shield her from the evils of this world,
I have decided to marry my dear Johanna.

Bamford:
(spoken) Ah, sir! Happy news, indeed!

Turpin:
(spoken) Strange, though...
When I offered myself to her,
She showed a certain reluctance.

Bamford:
Excuse me, my lord
May I request, my lord
Permission, my lord to speak?
Forgive me, my lord
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.

Turpin:
(spoken) Perhaps!
If she greets me cordially upon my return,
I shall give her a small gift!

Bamford:
Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord!
Have a fragile sensibility.
When a girl's emergent,
Probably, it's urgent,
You defer to her gentility, my lord!
Personal disorder cannot be ignored
Given their gentile proclivities,
Meaning no offenses
It happens they resents it
Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord!

Turpin:
(spoken) Stubble, you say?
Perhaps I am a little over-hasty in my morning ablutions,

Bamford: Hey..

Turpin:
(spoken) Until?

Bamford:
She bows to your every will.

Turpin:
(spoken) Barber? Take me to him!
