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>
