Alan Rickman — Ladies in Their Sensitivities lyrics

Lyrics

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 Johanna next Monday
Ah, sir happy news
Strange, when I offered myself to her, she showed a certain reluctance
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
Stubble you say?
Perhaps at times I am over hasty with my morning ablutions
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
Until?
She bows to your every will
Perhaps you may be right, take me to him
