Yes...why does Nancy sing Fagin's part? Read the video^^
One of my favourite songs of "Oliver!" from Lionel Bart, one of my favourite musicals^^
I'm so sorry that there isn't a video, but my web cam has an error...don't know what to do with that thing now...yes...oh, and as I read in the video, Fagin had a cold, so Nancy introduced Oliver, now you know it. But I have a cold too, I wonder how I made it that Nancy didn't sound as if she would have a cold...
my new favourite Film is "The great mouse detective" by the way :D

Here are the lyrics:

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.

Why should we 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.

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.

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 can 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
We 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!

  • Marry me ? Aha, I kid ;) Beautiful voice, Best version yet I reckon... On the down side, I've had it stuck in my head for the last three weeks now, my friends are not amused...

  • @MrAbtots yeah, the song is great, right? I love it too^^ and... if I may admit it, it's one of my best songs, in my opinion. Almost every note is right and I have a clear strong and controlled voice^^ Your friends should listen to the original^^

  • You have such a gorgeous voice, you could probably sing this to me while picking my pocket at the same time...and get away with it! lol Well done!!

  • @itwontbez that's the funniest comment I ever read!!^^ Thank you very much :D

  • I love the energy you put into this!!! This is one of my favourite covers of yours, you sound absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! <3

  • @EdhelHareth :) thanks^^ my favourite too, even if I don't sing good all the time. as soon as my webcam works, I'll make a video and delete this^^ but the new one will be even better^^
