oliver - a fine life lyrics

Loading...

nancy: small pleasures, small pleasures,
who would deny us these?
gin toddies — large measures —
no skimping if you please!
i rough it. i love it.
life is a game of chance.
i’ll never tire of it —
leading this merry dance.
if you don’t mind having to go without things,
it’s a fine life!

all : it’s a fine life!

nancy : and though it ain’t all jolly old pleasure outings,
it’s a fine life!

all: it’s a fine life!

nancy: when you’ve got someone to love,
you forget your cares and strife.
let the prudes look down on us.
let the wide world frown on us.
it’s a fine, fine life!

all: it’s a fine, fine life

bet:who cares if staight laces
sneer at us in the street
fine airs and fine graces,

nancy:don’t have to sin to eat

both: we wonder through london

nancy:who knows what we may find

both:there’s pockets left undone
on many a behind

nancy:if you don’t mind takin’ it like it turns out,
it’s a fine life!

all:it’s a fine life!

nancy:and keep the candle burn until it’s burned out
it’s a fine life!

all:it’s a fine life!

nancy:though you sometimes do come by
the occasional black eye
you can always cover one
’til he blacks the other one
but you don’t dare cry!

bet: no flounces, no feathers,
no frills and furbelows.
all winds and all weathers
ain’t good for fancy clothes.

nancy: these trappings,

bet: these tatters,

bet and nancy: these we can just afford.

nancy: what future?

bet: what matters:

bet and nancy: we’ve got our bed and board.

nancy: if you don’t mind having to deal with f-gin,
it’s a fine life!

all: it’s a fine life!

nancy: and though diseased rats threaten to bring the plague in,
it’s a fine life!

all: it’s fine life!

nancy: but the gr-ss is green and dense
on the right side of the fence.
so we take good care of it
that we get our share of it

all: and we don’t mean pence!

bet and nancy: if you don’t mind having to like or lump it,
it’s a fine life!

all: it’s a fine life!

nancy: though there’s no tea-sippin’ and eatin’ crumpet,
it’s a fine life!

all: it’s a fine life!

nancy: not for me, the happy home:
happy husband, happy wife.
though it sometimes touches me,
for the likes of such as me,
mine’s a fine.

all: fine life!
