FAGIN
A man`s got a heart, hasn`t he?
Joking apart -- hasn`t he?
And tho` I`d be the first one to say that I wasn`t a saint...
I`m finding it hard to be really as black as they paint...
I`m reviewing the situation
Can a fellow be a villain all his life?
All the trials and tribulations!
Better settle down and get myself a wife.
And a wife would cook and sew for me,
And come for me, and go for me,
The fingers, she will wag at me.
The money whe will take me.
A misery, she`ll make from me...
...I think I`d better thing it out again!
A wife you can keep, anyway
I`d rather sleep, anyway.
Left without anyone in the world,
And I`m starting from now
So how to win friends and to influence people
--So how?
I`m reviewing the situation,
I must quickly look up ev`ryone I know.
Titled people -- with a station --
Who can help me make a real impressive show!
I will own a suite at Claridges,
And run a fleet of carriages,
And wave at all the duchesses
With friendliness, as much as is
Befitting of my new estate...
Good morrow to you, magistrate! Oh gawd!
...I think I`d better think it out again.
So where shall I go -- somebody?
Who do I know? Nobody!
All my dearest companions
Have always been villains and thieves...
So at my time of life
I should start turning over new leaves...?
I`m reviewing the situation.
If you want to eat -- you`ve got to earn a bob!
Is it such a humiliation
For a robber to perform an honest job?
So a job I`m getting, possibly,
I wonder who my boss`ll be?
I wonder if he`ll take to me...?
What bonuses he`l make to me...?
I`ll start at eight and finish late,
At normal rate, and all..but wait!
...I think I`d better think it out again.
What happens when I`m seventy?
Must come a time...seventy.
When you`re old, and it`s cold
And who cares if you live or you die,
Your one consolation`s the money
You may have put by...
I`m reviewing the situation.
I`m a bad `un and a bad `un I shall stay!
You`ll be seeing no transformation,
But it`s wrong to be a rogue in ev`ry way.
I don`t want nobody hurt for me,
Or made to do the dirt for me.
This rotten life is not for me.
It`s getting far too hot for me.
Don`t want no one to rob for me.
But who will find a job for me,
There is no in between for me
But who will change the scene for me?
...I think I`d better think it out again!
Hey!
