Reviewing The Situation Lyrics

Reviewing The Situation lyrics

FAGIN 



A man's got a heart, hasn't he? 

Joking apart --
hasn't he? 

And tho' I'd be the first one to say that I wasn't a saint...




I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint... 



I'm reviewing the situation 

Can a fellow be a villain all his
life? 

All the trials and tribulations! 

Better settle down and get
myself a wife. 

And a wife would cook and sew for me, 

And come for
me, and go for me, 

The fingers, she will wag at me. 

The money whe

A wife you can keep, anyway 

I'd rather sleep, anyway. 

Left without anyone in the world, 

And I'm starting from now 

So "how to win friends and to influence
people" 

--So how? 



I'm reviewing the situation,

Titled people -- with a station --


Who can help me make a real impressive show! 

I will own a suite at
Claridges, 

And run a fleet of carriages, 

And wave at all the
duchesses 

With friendliness, as much as is 

Befitting of my new
estate... 



"Good morrow to you, magistrate!" Oh gawd! 



...I think I'd better think it out again. 



So where shall I go
-- somebody? 

Who do I know? Nobody! 

All my dearest companions 

Have always been villains and thieves... 

So at my time of life 

I should start turning over new leaves...? 



I'm reviewing the
situation. 

If you want to eat -- you've got to earn a bob! 

Is it
such a humiliation 

For a robber to perform an honest job? 

So a
job I'm getting, possibly, 

I wonder who my boss'll be?
