Oliver! Page #2

---

Must I travel far and wide?

Till I am beside the someone who

I can mean something to

Where

Is love?

Every night I kneel and pray

Let tomorrow be the day

When I see the face of someone who

I can mean something to

Where

Is love?

Please help me. Please!

What you staring at?

Haven't you never seen a toff?

No, never. I'm sorry. I didn't...

Oh, that's all right.

- Hungry?

- Yes, I am. I've come a long way.

I've been walking for seven days.

Been running away from the beak,

have you?

The what?

Now, don't say you don't know

what a beak is.

It's a bird's mouth, isn't it?

My eyes, how green can you get!

For your information,

a beak is a magistrate.

Who you running away from, then?

Your old man?

No, I'm an orphan.

I've come to London to make my fortune.

Hello.

You have, have you?

Got any lodgings?

- Money?

- Not a farthing.

Do you live in London?

What the...

I suppose you want someplace

to sleep tonight, eh?

Do you know of anywhere?

As it so happens,

I know a respectable old gentleman

- what'll give you lodgings for nothing.

- Really?

And never ask for the change.

That is, if any other gentleman he knows

introduces you.

And don't he know me?

He must be a very kind old gentlemen.

Oh, yes, yes, he's very kind.

And I'm a particular favorite of his.

Well, now, if you're coming along,

I'd better know who you are.

My name's Oliver. Oliver Twist.

And mine's Jack Dawkins.

Better known among me more

intimate friends as the Artful Dodger.

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Dodger.

Sure the old gentleman won't mind?

Mind?

Consider yourself at home

Consider yourself one of the family

I've taken to you so strong

It's clear we're going to get along

Consider yourself well in

Consider yourself part of the furniture

Here!

There isn't a lot to spare

Who cares?

Whatever we got we share!

If it should chance to be

We should see

Some harder days

Empty-larder days

Why grouse?

Always a chance we'll meet

Somebody to foot the bill

Then the drinks are on the house!

Consider yourself our mate

We don't want to have no fuss

For after some consideration

we can state

Consider yourself

One of us!

Consider yourself

At home?

Consider yourself

One of the family?

We've taken to you

So strong?

It's clear

We're going to get along

Consider yourself

Well in?

Consider yourself part of the furniture

There isn't a lot to spare

Who cares? Whatever we got, we share

Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity

There's a cup o' tea for all

Only it's wise to be handy

with a rolling pin

When the landlord comes to call!

Consider yourself our mate

We don't want to have no fuss

For after some consideration we can state

Consider yourself

One of us!

Consider yourself at home

Consider yourself one of the family

We've taken to you so strong

It's clear we're going to get along

Hammer up, hammer down!

Hammer up, hammer down!

Lift, drop! Lift, down!

Up! Not too slow, boys. There you go, boys.

Hammer up, hammer down! Lift, down!

Up! Out! Down! Lift! Drop!

Hammer up! Hammer down! Lift, down!

- Help!

- Help!

If it should chance to be

We should see

Some harder days

Empty-larder days

Why grouse?

Always a chance we'll meet

Somebody to foot the bill

Then the drinks are on the house!

Are on the house

Are on the house, are on the house

Are on the house, are on the house

Are on the house

Consider yourself at home

Consider yourself one of the family

We've taken to you so strong

It's clear we're going to get along

Consider yourself well in

Consider yourself part of the furniture

There isn't a lot to spare

Who cares? Whatever we got we share!

Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity

There's a cup o' tea for all

Only it's wise to be handy

with a rolling pin

When the landlord comes to call!

Consider yourself our mate

We don't want to have no fuss

For after some consideration we can state

Consider yourself, consider yourself

Consider yourself, consider yourself

Consider yourself

One of us!

It's Dodger! Coming up.

Dodger.

Oliver!

Up you go.

- Not again!

- Get out!

Hey, Fagin,

I brought my new friend to see you.

Oliver Twist.

Sir.

I hope I shall have the honor

of your intimate acquaintance.

We are very glad to see you, Oliver. Very.

Aren't we, my dears?

- Oh, yeah, Fagin!

- Yes, Fagin!

Give me back my things! Leave it! Leave it!

Leave him alone!

Dodger, take off the sausages.

Charlie, lay a place at the table for Mr. Twist.

Dodger tells me you have come to London

to seek your fortune, Oliver.

Yes, sir.

Well, we must see what we can do

to help you, mustn't we?

- Thank you, sir.

- These sausages are moldy!

Shut up and drink your gin!

You're staring at the pocket handkerchiefs,

eh, my dear?

We just hung them up

ready for the wash, that's all.

- Is this a laundry, then, sir?

- Yeah, that's right. A laundry!

Not exactly, my boy. I suppose a laundry

would be a very nice thing indeed.

But our line of business pays a little better.

Don't it, boys?

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 to do it, my dears!

Just a game, Oliver, just a game.

Why should we break our backs

Stupidly paying tax?

Better get some untaxed income

Better 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

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

Robin Hood was far too good

Get out and 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 could be like old Bill Sikes

If we pick a pocket or two

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

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!

Put them all back in the box!

- Oh, why must we?

- Why?

All of them.

Come here!

Good boy. What a crook!

We've all been hard at work today,

haven't we, my dears?

And what have you got, Dodger?

- A couple of wallets.

- Lined?

Only the best.

Not as heavy as they might be.

But very nicely made.

- Ingenious workman, ain't he, Oliver?
