Pick a Pocket or Two Lyrics
[FAGIN]
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]
Why should we break our backs
Stupidly paying tax?
Better get some untaxed income
Better 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]
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!
Got to pick a pocket or two
[BOYS]
We could be like old Bill Sikes
If we pick a pocket or two
[FAGIN]
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 pick a pocket or two
[FAGIN]
When I see
Someone rich
Both my thumbs
Start to itch
Only to find some piece of mind
I 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 piece of mind
We have to pick a pocket or two
