Lyrics You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two - Keith Hamshere & Ron Moody
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,
got
to
pick
a
pocket
or
two,
boys,
you've
got
to
pick
a
pocket
or
two.
Large
amounts
don't
grow
on
trees,
you
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two!
(Spoken)
*
Let′s
show
′em
how
to
do
it
my
dears!*
Why
should
we
break
our
backs,
stupidly,
paying
tax,
better
get
some
untaxed
income,
better
pick
a
pocket
or
two,
you,
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two,
boys,
you
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two.
Why
should
we
all
break
our
backs?
Better
pick
a
pocket
or
two!
(Spoken)*
Who
says
crime
doesn't
pay?*
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,
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two
boys,
you
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two.
Robin
Hood
was
far
too
good,
get
out
and
pick
a
pocket
or
two!
(Spoken)*
My
merry
men!
Hahahaha!*
Take
a
tip,
from
Bill
Sykes,
he
can
whip,
what
he
likes,
I
recall
he
started
small,
he
had
to
pick
a
pocket
or
two,
you,
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two,
boys,
you
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two.
We
will
be
like
old
Bill
Sykes,
if
we
pick
a
pocket
or
two!
(Spoken)*
If
at
first
you
don't
suceed*
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,
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two,
boys,
you
gotta
pick
a
pocket
or
two.
Just
to
find
some
piece
of
mind,
you
have
to
pick
a
pocket
or
two!
