| Reviewing the Situation |
|---|
| 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 |
| And go for me, and nag at me |
| The fingers, she would wag at me |
| The money she would take me |
| A misery, she’d make from me… |
| I think I’d better think 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 everyone 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 |
| 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 wonder if he’ll take to me??? |
| What bonuses he’ll make to me??? |
| I’ll start at eight and finish late |
| At normal rate, and all. |
| but wait! |
| I think I’d better think it out again! |
| I think I better start again! |
| What happens when I’m seventy? |
| Must come a time… seventy |
| When you’re old, and it’s cold |
| And who cares if you live or you die |
| Your one consolation’s the money |
| You may have put by… |
| I’m reviewing the situation |
| I’m a bad 'un and a bad 'un I shall stay! |
| You’ll be seeing no transformation! |
| But it’s wrong to be a rogue in every way |
| I don’t want nobody hurt for me |
| Or made to do the dirt for me |
| This rotten life is not for me |
| It’s getting far too hot for me |
| There is no in-between for me |
| But who will change the scene for me? |
| Don’t want no one to rob for me |
| But who will find a job for me |
| I think I’d better think it out again! |
| Hey! |
