REQ: OLIVER! musical lyrics

[Pablo J. Diaz]

Does anyone know where to find 'Oliver!' musical lyrics? As you surely
know, there's a web page (musicals.net) where you can find almost all
data about lot of musicals. Unfortunately, in the "Oliver!" entrance
there are no lyrics available (for unknown reason).
Thank you

AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME (from "Oliver")

As long as he needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me.

As long as life is long
I'll love him right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me.

If you are lonely
Then you will now
When someone needs you
You love them so.

I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As long as he needs me.

CONSIDER YOURSELF (from "Oliver")

Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares? whatever we've got we share.

If it should chance to be
We should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house.

Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares? whatever we've got we share.

Nobody tries to be lah-di-dah and uppiy
There's a cup of tea for all
Only it's wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call

Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself one of us.

WHO WILL BUY ? (from "Oliver")

Who will buy this wonderful morning?
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
and put it in a box for me?

So I can see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And I would keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long.

Who will buy this wonderful morning?
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
and put it in a box for me?

There'll never be a day so sunny
It could not happen twice
Where is the man with all the money?
It's cheap at half the price.

Who will buy this wonderful feeling?
I'm so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my, I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do
To keep the sky so blue?
There must be someone who will buy.

More OLIVER! lyrics (words by Lionel Bart)

OOM PAH PAH:

(Chorus)
Oom-pah-pah oom-pah-pah
That's how it goes
Oom-pah-pah oom-pah-pah
Everyone knows
They all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear oom-pah-pah

Verse 1:

There's a little ditty, they're singing in the city
Especially when they've bin on the gin or the beer
If you've got patience, your own imaginations
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear

(CHORUS)

Verse 2:

Mister Percy Snodgrass would often have the odd glass
But never when he thought than anybody could see
Secretly he'd buy it and drink it on the quiet
And dream he was an Earl wiv a girl on each knee

(New Chorus)

Oom-pah-pah oom-pah-pah
That's how it goes
Oom-pah-pah oom-pah-pah
Everyone knows
What is the cause of his red shiny nose?
Can it be oom-pah-pah?

Verse 3:

Pretty little Sally goes walking down the alley
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men
They could see her garters, but not for free or gratis
An inch or two and then she knew when to say when

New Chorus:

Oom-pah-pah oom-pah-pah
That's how it goes
Oom-pah-pah oom-pah-pah
Everyone knows
Whether it's hidden or whether it shows
It's the same oom-pah-pah

Oliver lyrics by Lionel Bart:

Pick a Pocket or two:

Verse 1:

In 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

Verse 2:
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

Verse 3:
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, get out and pick a pocket or two

Verse 4:
Take a tip from Bill Sykes - 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
You've got to pick a pocket or two
We can be like old Bill Sykes, if we pick a pocket or two

Verse 5:
When I see someone rich both my thumbs start to itch
Only to find some peace of mind I have to pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Just to find some peace of mind, we have to pick a pocket or two.

Food, Glorious Food!!

Food, glorious food! Hot sausage and mustard
While we're in the mood, cold jelly and custard
Pease pudding and saveloys, what next is the question?
Rich gentlemen have it boys, indigestion
Food glorious food, we're anxious to try it
Three banquets a day, our favourite diet
Just picture a great big steak, fried roasted or stewed
Oh food, wonderful food, marvellous food, glorious food.

Food, glorious food! Don't care what it looks like
Burned, underdone, crude, don't care what the cook's like
Just thinking of growing fat, our senses are reeling
One moment of knowing that full-up feeling!
Food, glorious food! What wouldn't we give for
That extra bit more, that's all that we live for
Why should we be fated to do nothing but brood
Oh food, magical food, wonderful food, marvellous food,
fabulous food, beautiful food, glorious food!

(REPRISE) Food, marvellous food, fabulous food, beautiful food,
GLORIOUS FOOD!
