[FAGIN (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-pocket or two. You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. [BOYS] Have no fear, attack the rear Get in and pick-a-pocket or two. [FAGIN] When I see someone rich, Both my thumbs start to itch Only to find some peace of mind We have 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] Just to find some peace of mind [FAGIN AND BOYS] We have to pick-a-pocket or two!
