Pick A Pocket Or Two

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.

When I see someone rich
Both my thumbs start to itch
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
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.

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