You’ve Got To Pick a Pocket or Two

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
You see, Oliver
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 picket a pocket or two
Boys!
You've got to picket a pocket or two

[FAGIN'S GANG]
Large amounts don't grow on trees
You've got to pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
Let's show Oliver how to do it, my dears!

[FAGIN]
Why should we break our backs
Stupidly paying tax
Better some untaxed income
Better pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Boy, you've got to pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN'S GANG]
Why should we all break our backs
Better pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
Who says crime doesn't pay, Oliver, eh? Right, Dodger, thank you!

[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, get out of here, you've got to pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN'S GANG]
Robin Hood was far too good
He had to pick a pocket or two!

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
That's my merry man, Oliver, that's my merry man!

[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 got to pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN'S GANG]
We can be like old Bill Sikes
If we pick a pocket or two!

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
This way! This way, not that way, Sidney!

[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 - stop that - you've got to pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN'S GANG]
Have no fear, attack the rear
Get in and pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN]
Oliver!
When I see someone rich
Both my thumbs start to itch
Only to find some peace of mind
I've got to pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Bo-oy-oy-oy

[DODGER] (Spoken)
Oh, get on with it!

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
I've been having lessons!

[FAGIN]
You've got to pick a pocket or two

[FAGIN'S GANG]
Just to find some peace of mind
We have to pick a pocket or
Just to find some peace of mind
We have to pick a pocket or
Just to find some peace of mind

[FAGIN, FAGIN'S GANG]
We have to pick a pocket or two, hey!
