Oliver! movie - REVIEWING THE SITUATION lyrics
rate me<br>
FAGIN <br>
<br>
A man's got a heart, hasn't he?<br>
Joking apart -- hasn't he?<br>
And tho' I'd be the first one to say that I wasn't a saint... <br>
<br>
I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint... <br>
<br>
I'm reviewing the situation<br>
Can a fellow be a villain all his life?<br>
All the trials and tribulations!<br>
Better settle down and get myself a wife.<br>
And a wife would cook and sew for me,<br>
And come for me, and go for me,<br>
The fingers, she will wag at me.<br>
The money whe will take me.<br>
A misery, she'll make from me... <br>
<br>
...I think I'd better thing it out again! <br>
<br>
A wife you can keep, anyway<br>
I'd rather sleep, anyway.<br>
Left without anyone in the world, <br>
And I'm starting from now<br>
So "how to win friends and to influence people"<br>
--So how? <br>
<br>
I'm reviewing the situation,<br>
I must quickly look up ev'ryone I know.<br>
Titled people -- with a station --<br>
Who can help me make a real impressive show!<br>
I will own a suite at Claridges,<br>
And run a fleet of carriages,<br>
And wave at all the duchesses<br>
With friendliness, as much as is<br>
Befitting of my new estate... <br>
<br>
"Good morrow to you, magistrate!" Oh gawd! <br>
<br>
...I think I'd better think it out again. <br>
<br>
So where shall I go -- somebody?<br>
Who do I know? Nobody!<br>
All my dearest companions<br>
Have always been villains and thieves...<br>
So at my time of life<br>
I should start turning over new leaves...? <br>
<br>
I'm reviewing the situation.<br>
If you want to eat -- you've got to earn a bob!<br>
Is it such a humiliation<br>
For a robber to perform an honest job?<br>
So a job I'm getting, possibly,<br>
I wonder who my boss'll be?<br>
I wonder if he'll take to me...?<br>
What bonuses he'l make to me...?<br>
I'll start at eight and finish late,<br>
At normal rate, and all..but wait! <br>
<br>
...I think I'd better think it out again. <br>
<br>
What happens when I'm seventy?<br>
Must come a time...seventy.<br>
When you're old, and it's cold<br>
And who cares if you live or you die,<br>
Your one consolation's the money<br>
You may have put by... <br>
<br>
I'm reviewing the situation.<br>
I'm a bad 'un and a bad 'un I shall stay!<br>
You'll be seeing no transformation,<br>
But it's wrong to be a rogue in ev'ry way. <br>
<br>
I don't want nobody hurt for me,<br>
Or made to do the dirt for me.<br>
This rotten life is not for me.<br>
It's getting far too hot for me.<br>
Don't want no one to rob for me.<br>
But who will find a job for me, <br>
There is no in between for me<br>
But who will change the scene for me? <br>
<br>
...I think I'd better think it out again! <br>
<br>
Hey!<br>
<br>
