You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two (From 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, 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
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
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!
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!
If at first, you don't succeed
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!
