Before we put the lad to task

May I be so crious as to ask

His name?

WIDOW CORNEY

Won't ask for more when he knows what's in store.

MR. BUMBLE

Witout an bannister

Whil we'll throuwhim down, and feed him on

Cockrouches served in a canister

ALL

Oliver! Oliver!

MR. BUMBLE

What will he do when he's turned black and blue?

He will curse the day

Somebody named him

Oliver! Oliver!

Never before has a boy wanted more!

WIDOW CORNEY

Won't ask for more

When he knows what's in store.

MR. BUMBLE

There's a sooty chimney

Long overdue for a sweeping out

Which we'll push him up,

And one day next year with the rats he'll be creeping out.

In this terrible stew?

He will rue the day somebody name him...

LARGE GOVERNOR

Encouraging others to swallow in gluttony.

Lock him in jail

And then put him on sale,

For the highest bid

Glad to be rid

Of

O-li-ver!
