(Todd sings)
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~
Ah,Pretty women,
(Turpin)Silhouetted...
(Todd)Stay within you,
(Turpin)Glancing...
(Todd)stay forever,
(Turpin)Breathing lightly...
(Todd)Pretty women,
(Todd+Turpin)Pretty women!
Blowing out their candles or(Turpin:Blowing out their candles)
Combing out their hair(Turpin:Combing out their hair then they leave)
Even when they leave you and vainish(Todd:Even when they leave,)
they somehow can still can remain there with you(Todd:They still are there...)
They're there(Turpin:...with you)
(Todd+Turpin)Ah! Pretty women,
(Todd)At their mirrors,
(Turpin)In their gardens,
(Todd)Letter-writing,
(Turpin)Flower-picking,
(Todd)Weather-watching.
(Todd+Turpin)How they make a man sing!
Proof of heaven,as you're living,
Pretty women!
Sir, pretty women!
Yes pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women~
