[FAGIN (spoken)]<br>
You see, Oliver... <br>
<br>
[sung] In this life, one thing counts <br>
In the bank, large amounts <br>
I'm afraid these don't grow on trees, <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two <br>
<br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys, <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[BOYS]<br>
Large amounts don't grow on trees. <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[FAGIN (spoken)]<br>
Let's show Oliver how it's done, shall we, my dears? <br>
<br>
[sung] Why should we break our backs <br>
Stupidly paying tax? <br>
Better get some untaxed income <br>
Better to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[BOYS]<br>
Why should we all break our backs? <br>
Better pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[FAGIN (spoken)]<br>
Who says crime doesn't pay? <br>
<br>
[sung] Robin Hood, what a crook!<br>
Gave away, what he took.<br>
Charity's fine, subscribe to mine.<br>
Get out and pick-a-pocket or two<br>
<br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[BOYS]<br>
Robin Hood was far too good<br>
He had to pick-a-pocket or two.<br>
<br>
[FAGIN]<br>
Take a tip from Bill Sikes<br>
He can whip what he likes.<br>
I recall, he started small<br>
He had to pick-a-pocket or two.<br>
<br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[BOYS]<br>
We can be like old Bill Sikes<br>
If we pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[FAGIN (spoken)]<br>
Stop thief!<br>
<br>
Dear old gent passing by<br>
Something nice takes his eye<br>
Everything's clear, attack the rear<br>
Get in and pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[BOYS]<br>
Have no fear, attack the rear<br>
Get in and pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[FAGIN]<br>
When I see someone rich, <br>
Both my thumbs start to itch<br>
Only to find some peace of mind<br>
We have to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys <br>
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. <br>
<br>
[BOYS]<br>
Just to find some peace of mind<br>
<br>
[FAGIN AND BOYS]<br>
We have to pick-a-pocket or two!<br>
<br>
