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
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?
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
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Take a tip from Bill Sikes
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 Sikes
If we pick a pocket or two
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, boys
You've got to pick a pocket or two
Just to find some peace of mind
We have to pick a pocket or two
