You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two - Georgia Brown, Martin Horsey, Keith Hampshire

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 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!

Got to pick a pocket or two

We could be like old Bill Sikes

If we pick a pocket or two

Dear old gent

Passing by

Something nice takes his eye

Everything’s clear

Attack the rear

Get in 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

Have no fear

Attack the rear

Get in pick a pocket or two

When I see

Someone rich

Both my thumbs

Start to itch

Only to find some piece of mind

I have to pick a pocket or two

You’ve got to pick a pocket or two

Bo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ys!

You’ve got to pick a pocket or two

Just to find some piece of mind

We have to pick a pocket or two
