Reviewing the Situation


FAGIN

A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
Joking apart -- hasn't he?
And tho' I'd be the first one to say that I wasn't a saint

I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint

I'm reviewing the situation
Can a fellow be a villain all his life?
All the trials and tribulations!
Better settle down and get myself a wife
And a wife would cook and sew for me,
And come for me, and go for me,
The fingers, she will wag at me
The money whe will take me
A misery, she'll make from me

I think I'd better thing it out again!

A wife you can keep, anyway
I'd rather sleep, anyway
Left without anyone in the world,
And I'm starting from now
So "how to win friends and to influence people"
--So how?

I'm reviewing the situation,
I must quickly look up ev'ryone I know
Titled people -- with a station --
Who can help me make a real impressive show!
I will own a suite at Claridges,
And run a fleet of carriages,
And wave at all the duchesses
With friendliness, as much as is
Befitting of my new estate

"Good morrow to you, magistrate!" Oh gawd!

I think I'd better think it out again

So where shall I go -- somebody?
Who do I know? Nobody!
All my dearest companions
Have always been villains and thieves
So at my time of life
I should start turning over new leaves?

I'm reviewing the situation
If you want to eat -- you've got to earn a bob!
Is it such a humiliation
For a robber to perform an honest job?
So a job I'm getting, possibly,
I wonder who my boss'll be?
I wonde
