FAGIN



(spoken) Nancy! Wake up boys! The ladies is 'ere.



DODGER



(spoken) Ladies?! Cor! 'Ark at him!



NANCY



(spoken) 'Ere, we'll have less of that if you don't mind!

'Ere, so where's the gin, then, Fagin?



FAGIN



(spoken) All in moderation, my dear, all in moderation.

Too much gin can be a dangerous thing for a pure, young girl.



NANCY



(spoken) Ooh, and what's wrong with a bit of danger then, eh, Mr. Fagin?

After all it's about the only excitement we get. And who would deny us

that small pleasure?



(sung) Small pleasures, small pleasures

Who would deny us these?

Gin toddies -- large measuress --

No skimpin' if you please!

I rough it, I love it

Life is a game of chance.

I never tire of it --

Leading this merry dance.

If you don't mind having to go without things

It's a fine life.



ALL



It's a fine life.



NANCY



Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings...

It's a fine life



ALL



It's a fine life.



NANCY



When you got someone to love

You forget your cares and strife

Let the prudes look down on us

Let the wide world frown on us

It's a fine,



ALL



Fine life!



NANCY



(spoken) Ain't that right, Bet? Go on, you tell 'em girl.



BET



Who cares if straightlaces

Sneer at us in the street?

Fine airs and fine graces



NANCY



Don't have to sin to eat.



BOTH



We wander through London
