Songs

• 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.

• Food, glorious food!
  Hot sausage and mustard!
  While we're in the mood
  Cold jelly and custard!
  Pease pudding and saveloys,
  what next, is the question?
  Rich gentlemen have it, boys:
  In-di-gestion!

• As long as he needs me.
  Oh yes, he does need me.
  In spite of what you see,
  I'm sure that he needs me.

• Would you climb a hill? - Anything
  Wear a daffodil? - Anything
  Leave me all your will? - Anything
  Even fight my Bill? - What fisticuffs?!
