(spoken) You see, Oliver

(sung) In this life, one thing counts

In the bank, large amounts
I'm afraid these don't grow on trees,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two

You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two

BOYS

Large amounts don't grow on trees
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two

FAGIN

(spoken) Let's show Oliver how it's done, shall we, my dears?

(sung) Why should we break our backs

Stupidly paying tax?
Better get some untaxed income
Better to pick-a-pocket or two

You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two

BOYS

Why should we all break our backs?
Better pick-a-pocket or two

FAGIN

(spoken) Who says crime doesn't pay?

(sung) Robin Hood, what a crook!

Gave away, what he took
Charity's fine, subscribe to mine
Get out and pick-a-pocket or two

You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two

BOYS

Robin Hood was far too good
He had to pick-a-pocket or two

FAGIN

Take a tip from Bill Sikes
He can whip what he likes
I recall, he started small
He had to pick-a-pocket or two

You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two

BOYS

We can be like old Bill Sikes
If we pick-a-pocket or two

FAGIN

(spoken) Stop thief!

Dear old gent passing by
Something nice takes his eye
Everything's clear, attack the rear
Get in and pick-a-
