Oliver famously asks for more food, which is regarded as rude and gluttonous by all adults at the workhouse, particularly the beadle and mistress of the workhouse, and they consider his punishment in song, eventually deciding to sell him.
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
Please, sir, I want some more
[MR BUMBLE] (Spoken)
What?
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
Please, sir, I want some more!
[MR BUMBLE] (Spoken)
More?!
[WIDOW CORNEY]
Catch him!
[MR BUMBLE]
Snatch him!
[WIDOW CORNEY]
Hold him!
[MR BUMBLE]
Scold him!
[WIDOW CORNEY]
Pounce him, trounce him
Pick him up and bounce him!
(He went that way!)
[MR BUMBLE]
Wait!
Before we put the lad to task
Might I be so curious as to ask
His name?
[WORKHOUSE BOYS] (Spoken)

[MR BUMBLE, WIDOW CORNEY]
(Oliver?)
Oliver, Oliver
[MR BUMBLE]
Never before has a boy wanted more
[MR BUMBLE, WIDOW CORNEY]
Oliver, Oliver
[WIDOW CORNEY]
Won't ask for more when he knows what's in store!
[MR BUMBLE]
There's a dark, thin, winding stairway without any bannister
Which we'll throw him down and feed him on cockroaches served in a cannister!
[ALL but OLIVER]
Oliver, Oliver
[MR BUMBLE]
What will he do when he's turned black and blue?
He will curse the day somebody named him
[ALL but OLIVER]
Oliver
[MR BUMBLE, WIDOW CORNEY]
Oliver, Oliver
[MR BUMBLE]
Never before has a boy wanted more
[MR BUMBLE, WIDOW CORNEY]
Oliver, Oliver
[WIDOW CORNEY]
Won't ask for more when he knows what's in store!
[MR BUMBLE]
There's a sooty chimney that's long overdue for a sweeping out
Which we'll push him up and one day next year with the rats he'll come creeping out
[ALL but OLIVER]
Oliver, Oliver
[MR BUMBLE]
What will he do with his terrible stew?
He will rue the day somebody named him
[ALL but OLIVER]
Oliver
Oliver, Oliver
[BOARD MEMBERS]
Never before has a boy asked for more!
[ALL but OLIVER]
Oliver, Oliver
[BOARD MEMBER 1]
Pray some decorum, restore I implore
[BOARD MEMBER 2]
Let us face this case
It's unprecedented quite utterly
He's disgraced this place
[BOARD MEMBER 1]
Encouraging others to wallow in gluttony
[ALL but OLIVER]
Oliver, Oliver
[MR BUMBLE, WIDOW CORNEY]
Lock him in jail!
[BOARD MEMBERS]
No, let's put him on sale!
[ALL but OLIVER]
For the highest bid
Glad to be rid of Ol-iv-er!
