Its A Fine Life lyrics

NANCY

(spoken) Plummy and slam!

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
