A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
And though I'd be the first one
to say that I wasn't a saint
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
And I'm starting from now
I'm re -viewing the situation
Titled people with a station
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
All my dearest companions
have always been villains and thieves
I should start turning over new
I'm re -viewing the situation
If you want to eat you've
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
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?
the money you may have put by.
I'm reviewing the situation
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!
