Lyrics

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
