Tekst Utworu
For what you're about to receive
May the lord make you truly thankful
Amen
Please sir, I want some more
What?
Please sir, I want some, more?
More?
Catch him
Snatch him
Hold him
Scold him
Pounce him, trounce him, pick him up and bounce him
Wait!
Before we put the lad to task, may I be so curious as to ask his name?
(Oliver)
Oliver, Oliver
Never before has a boy wanted more
Oliver, Oliver
He won't ask for more when he knows what's in store
There is a dark, thin winding stairway without any banister
Which we'll throw him down and feed him on cockroaches served in a canister
Oliver, Oliver
What will he do when he's turned black and blue?
He will curse the day somebody named him Oliver
Oliver, Oliver
Never before has a boy wanted more
Oliver, Oliver
He won't ask for more when he knows what's in store
There's a sooty chimney long up and due for a sweeping out
Which we'll push him up out and one day next year with a rat it'll be creeping out
Oliver, Oliver
What will he do in this terrible stew?
He will rue the day somebody named him Oliver
Oliver, Oliver
Never before has a boy asked more
Oliver, Oliver
Pray some decorum restore, I implore
Let us face this case, it's unprecedent and quite utterly
He's disgraced this place
And encouraging others to wallow in gluttony
Oliver, Oliver
Lock him in jail and then put him on sale for the highest bid
Glad to be rid of Oliver
Lock him up
Collect his belongings then bring him back to me when you have done
To bed, all of you!
