[NANCY] (Spoken)
Plummy and slam!

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
Nancy! Hey, wake up boys now, wake up! The ladies are here!

[DODGER] (Spoken)
Ladies?

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
Yes!

[NANCY] (Spoken)
Where's the gin, Fagin?

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
Yes, the gin, all in moderation, my dear! You see, too much gin can be a dangerous thing for the pure young girl!

[NANCY] (Spoken)
Oh yeah? And what's wrong with a bit of danger, Mr. Fagin? You wouldn't deny us the only bit of excitement we have, would ya?

[NANCY]
Small pleasures, small pleasures
Who could deny us these?

[DODGER]
Not me!
[NANCY]
Gin toddies, large measures
No skimping 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

[FAGIN'S GANG]
It's a fine life

[NANCY]
Though it ain't all jolly pleasure outings
It's a fine life

[FAGIN'S GANG]
It's a fine life

[NANCY]
When you got someone to love
You forget your cares and strife
Oh, let the prudes look down on us
Let the wide world frown on us
It's a fine
[NANCY, FAGIN'S GANG]
Fine, life!

[NANCY] (Spoken)
Ain't that right, Bet?

[BET] (Spoken)
Yeah, that's right, Nancy!

[BET]
Who cares if straight laces sneer at us in the street?
Fine airs and fine graces

[NANCY]
Don't have to sin to eat!
We wander through London
Who knows what we may find

[NANCY, BET]
There's pockets left undone
On many-a behind

[NANCY]
If you don't mind taking, as it turns out
It's a fine life
[FAGIN'S GANG]
It's a fine life

[NANCY]
Keep the candle burning 'til it burns out
It's a fine life

[FAGIN'S GANG]
It's a fine life

[NANCY]
Though you sometimes do come back
The occasional black eye
You can always cover one, 'til he blacks the other one
But you don't dare cry, alright?

[BET]
No flounces, no feathers, no frills or furbelowes
All winds and all weathers, I'd give for fancy clothes

[NANCY]
These trappings

[BET]
These tatters

[NANCY, BET]
These we can just afford

[NANCY]
What future?

[BET]
What matters?

[NANCY, BET, FAGIN'S GANG]
We've got our bed and board

[NANCY]
If you don't mind having to deal with Fagin
It's a fine life

[FAGIN'S GANG]
It's a fine life

[NANCY]
Though diseased rats threaten to bring the plague in
It's a fine life

[FAGIN'S GANG]
It's a fine life

[NANCY]
But the grass is green and dense
On the right side of the fence
And we take good care of it
That we get our share of it

[NANCY, FAGIN'S GANG]
And we don't mean pence

[ALL]
If you don't mind having to like or lump it
It's a fine life

[FAGIN]
It's a fine life

[ALL]
Though there's no tea-supping or eating crumpet
It's a fine life

[FAGIN]
It's a fine life

[ALL but NANCY]
It's a fine life

[NANCY]
Not for me
The happy home, happy husband
Happy wife
Though it sometimes touches me
C'mon, for the likes as such as me
Mines a fine

[ALL]
Fine life!
