Oliver! movie - MY NAME lyrics
rate me<br>
SIKES<br>
<br>
Strong men tremble when they hear it!<br>
They've got cause enough to fear it!<br>
<br>
<br>
It's much blacker than they smear it!<br>
Nobody mentions...<br>
My name! <br>
<br>
Rich men hold their five-pound notes out --<br>
Saves me emptying their couats out.<br>
They know I could tear their throats out<br>
Just to live up to...<br>
My name! <br>
<br>
Wiv me<br>
Jemmy in me hand,<br>
Lemme see the man who dares<br>
Stop me.<br>
Taking what I may<br>
He can start to say his prayers! <br>
<br>
Biceps like an iron girder,<br>
Fit for doing of a murder,<br>
If I just so much as heard a <br>
Bloke even whisper...<br>
(spoken) My name! Bill Sikes... <br>
<br>
(sung) Some Toff, slumming wiv his valet,<br>
Bumped into me in the alley<br>
Now is eyes'll never tally<br>
He'd never heard of ...<br>
My name! <br>
<br>
One bloke<br>
Used to boast the claim<br>
He could take my name in vain...<br>
Poor bloke...<br>
Shame 'e was so green<br>
Never was 'e seen again! <br>
<br>
Once bad -- What's the good of turning?<br>
In hell, I'll be there-a-burning<br>
Meanwhile, thing of what I'm earning<br>
All on account of...<br>
My name! <br>
<br>
What is it? What is it? What is it? <br>
<br>
NANCY <br>
<br>
(spoken) Bill Sikes.<br>
