Pick A Pocket Or Two Lyrics

Pick A Pocket Or Two lyrics

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

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-
