You've Got To Pick-A-Pocket Or Two - Rowan Atkinson

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?

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.

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.

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.

Stop thief!

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!
