Oliver!
MR. BUMBLE
Before we put the lad to task
May I be so curious as to ask
His name?
BOYS
O-li-ver
WIDOW CORNEY
Oliver Twist, Mr. Bumble!
You named him so yourself!
MR. BUMBLE
So that's who he is!
Oliver! Oliver!
Never before has a boy wanted more!
Oliver! Oliver!
Won't ask for more when he knows what's in store
There's a dark, thin, winding stairway
Without any banister
Which we'll throw him down, and feed him on
Cockroaches served in a canister
Oliver! Oliver!
What will he do when he's turned black and blue?
He will rue the day
Somebody named him
O-li-ver!
Oliver! Oliver!
Never before has a boy wanted more!
Oliver! Oliver!
Won't ask for more
When he knows what's in store
There's a long, thin, winding stairway
Without any banister
Which we'll throw him down, and feed him on
Cockroaches served in a canister
MR. BUMBLE
Oliver! Oliver!
What heaven pray will the governors say?
WIDOW CORNEY
They will lay the blame on the one who named him
O-li-ver!
Before we put the lad to task
May I be so curious as to ask
His name?
BOYS
O-li-ver
WIDOW CORNEY
Oliver Twist, Mr. Bumble!
You named him so yourself!
MR. BUMBLE
So that's who he is!
Oliver! Oliver!
Never before has a boy wanted more!
Oliver! Oliver!
Won't ask for more when he knows what's in store
There's a dark, thin, winding stairway
Without any banister
Which we'll throw him down, and feed him on
Cockroaches served in a canister
Oliver! Oliver!
What will he do when he's turned black and blue?
He will rue the day
Somebody named him
O-li-ver!
Oliver! Oliver!
Never before has a boy wanted more!
Oliver! Oliver!
Won't ask for more
When he knows what's in store
There's a long, thin, winding stairway
Without any banister
Which we'll throw him down, and feed him on
Cockroaches served in a canister
MR. BUMBLE
Oliver! Oliver!
What heaven pray will the governors say?
WIDOW CORNEY
They will lay the blame on the one who named him
O-li-ver!
