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!
