You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two

Let's show all of them how it's done
Should we, my dears?

Why should we all 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

My merry men

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, oh
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, ey

We can be like old Bill Sikes
If we pick-a-pocket or two

Dear old gent passing by
Something nice, ooh, 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

Fagin, they stink
They were clean on last summer

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
I 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!

Just to find some peace of mind
We have to pick-a-pocket or two!
Just to find some peace of mind
We have to pick-a-pocket or two!
Hey
