A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
Joking apart, hasn't he?
And though I'd be the first one
to say that I wasn't a saint
I'm finding it odd
to be really as black as they paint
I'm re -viewing the situation
Can a fella be a villain all his life?
All the trials and tribulation
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 finger she would wag at me
The money she will take from me
A misery she'll 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 any one in
the world
And I'm starting from now
So how to win friends
and to influence people?
So how?
I'm re -viewing 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 Claridge's
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!
I think I'd better think it
hard 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 re -viewing 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, I know, but wait
I think I'd better think it
out again
What happens when I'm seventy?
Must come a time, sev enty,
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 rot ten life is not for me
It's getting far too hot for me
I don't want no one to rob for me,
but who will find a job for me?
There is no in -between for me,
but who will change the scene for me?
I think I'd better think it out again!
Hey!
