Russ Abbott & Children's Company - Pick a Pocket or Two (Oliver!) Lyrics

Lyrics Pick a Pocket or Two (Oliver!) - Russ Abbott & Children's Company



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 pick-a-pocket or two, boys,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
Large amounts don't grow on trees.
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
Let's show Oliver how it's done, shall we, my dears?
Why should we break our backs
Stupidly paying tax?
Better get some untaxed income
Better 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.
Why should we all break our backs?
Better pick-a-pocket or two.
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've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
Robin Hood was far too good
He had to pick-a-pocket or two.
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.
We can be like old Bill Sikes
If we pick-a-pocket or two.
Stop thief!
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.
Have no fear, attack the rear
Get in and pick-a-pocket or two.
When I see someone rich,
Both my thumbs start to itch
Only to find some peace of mind
We 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.
Just to find some peace of mind
We have to pick-a-pocket or two!
