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 it's done, shall we, my dears? (Yeah!)

Why should we break our backs
Stupidly paying tax?
Better get some untaxed income
Better pick-a-pocket or two

Better pick-a-pocket or two

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

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 can be like old Bill Sikes

Something nice takes his eye
Everything's clear, attack the rear
Get in and 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
If 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...

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