Oliver - Reviewing The Situation lyrics

A mans 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 hard to be

really as black as they paint

I'm Reviewing,

The Situation

Can a fellow be a villan all his life?

All the trials and tribulations

Better settle down and get myself a wife.

And the wife would cook and sew for me

and come for me and go for me

And go for me and nag at me

the fingers she would wag at me

The money she would take for me

The misery she'd 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 anyone in the world

and I'm starting from now

So how to win friends and to influence people

so how?

I'm Reviewing,

The Situation

I must quickly look up everyone I know

Title people - with a station

Who can help me make a real impressive show

I will own a suite at Claridges

and run a fleet of carridges

and wave at all the dutchesses

with friendlyness as much as is

beffitting of my new estate

Good morrow to you, Madgistrate!

I think I'd better think it out again

So where shall I go

somebody

Who do I know

nobody.

All my dearest companions have always been villans and theives

So at my time of life I should start turning over new leaves

I'm Reviewing,

The Situation

If you want to eat youve got to earn a bob

Is it such a humilliation

for a robber to perform an honest job

So a job I'm getting possibly

I wonder who the boss will 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 and all but wait-

I think I better think it out again

I think I better think it out again

What happens when I'm Seventy

Must come a time,

seventy

When you're old and its cold

and who cares if you live or you die

Youre one consolation's

the money you may have put by

I'm Reviewing,

The Situation

I'm a bad one and a bad one

I shall stay

Youve be seeing, no transformation

But its wrong to be a rogue in every way

I dont want nobody hurt for me

or made to do the dirt for me

This rotten life is not for me

Its getting far too hott for me

There is no in between for me

but who will change the scene for me

Don't want no one to rob for me

But who will find a job for me?!

I think I'd better think it out again!
