Shut up and drink your gin!
You're staring at the pocky anchor jeans, eh, my dear?
We just hung them up, ready for the wash, that's all.
Is this a laundry then, sir?
Yeah, that's what I thought!
Exactly, my boy, I suppose a laundry would be a very nice thing indeed.
Dying a business pays a little better, don't it, boys?
You're right, my boy.
You see, Oliver, in this life, one thing counts in the bank.
Large amounts, I'm [Bm] afraid these don't grow on [B] trees.
You've got to pick a pocket or two, [Em] you've got to pick a pocket [G] or two, [F#m] boys.
You've [C] got to pick a [Em] pocket or two.
