FAGIN
(spoken) Nancy! Wake up boys! The ladies is 'ere
DODGER
(spoken) Ladies?! Cor! 'Ark at him!
NANCY
(spoken) 'Ere, we'll have less of that if you don't mind!
'Ere, so where's the gin, then, Fagin?
FAGIN
(spoken) All in moderation, my dear, all in moderation
Too much gin can be a dangerous thing for a pure, young girl
NANCY
(spoken) Ooh, and what's wrong with a bit of danger then, eh, Mr Fagin?
After all it's about the only excitement we get And who would deny us
that small pleasure?
(sung) Small pleasures, small pleasures
Who would deny us these?
Gin toddies -- large measuress --
No skimpin' if you please!
I rough it, I love it
Life is a game of chance
I never tire of it --
Leading this merry dance
If you don't mind having to go without things
It's a fine life
ALL
It's a fine life
NANCY
Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings
It's a fine life
ALL
It's a fine life
NANCY
When you got someone to love
You forget your cares and strife
Let the prudes look down on us
Let the wide world frown on us
It's a fine,
ALL
Fine life!
NANCY
(spoken) Ain't that right, Bet? Go on, you tell 'em girl
BET
Who cares if straightlaces
Sneer at us in the street?
Fine airs and fine graces
NANCY
Don't have to sin to eat
BOTH
We wander through London
