Pick a Pocket

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, boys,
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...
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.
Get out and 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.
Take a tip from old Bill Sikes.
He can 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.
You’ve got to pick a pocket or two.
