[WIDOW CORNEY]Catch him!
[MR. BUMBLE]Snatch him!
[WIDOW CORNEY]Hold him!
[MR. BUMBLE]Scold him!
[WIDOW CORNEY]Pounce him! Trounce him! Pick him up and bounce him!
[MR. BUMBLE]Wait! Before we put the lad to task May I be so crious as to ask His name?
[BOYS (whispering)]O-li-ver.
[WIDOW CORNEY AND MR. BUMBLE]Oliver! Oliver!
[MR. BUMBLE]Never beofre has a boy wanted more!
[MR. BUMBLE AND WIDOW CORNEY]Oliver! Oliver!
[WIDOW CORNEY]Won't ask for more whne he knows what's in store.
[MR. BUMBLE]There a dar, thin, winding stairway Witout an bannister Whil we'll throuwhim down, and feed him on Cockrouches served in a canister
[ALL]Oliver! Oliver!
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/oliver-lyrics-oliver.html ] MR. BUMBLE What will he do when he's turned black and blue? He will curse the day Somebody named him
[ALL]O-li-ver!
[MR. BUMBLE]Oliver! Oliver! Never before has a boy wanted more! Oliver! Oliver!
[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.
[ALL]Oliver! Oliver!
[MR. BUMBLE]What will her do? In this terrible stew? He will rue the day somebody name him...
[ALL AND WIDOW CORNEY]O-li-ver!
[GOVERNORS]Oliver! Oliver! Never before has a boy asked for more Oliver! Oliver!
[CHAIRMAN]Pray some decorum restore, I implore... Let us face this case, it's Unpreedented, qute utterly.
[GOVERNORS]He's disgraced this place.
[LARGE GOVERNOR]Encouraging others to swallow in gluttony.
[ALL]Oliver!...Oliver! Lock him in jail And then put him on sale, For the highest bid Glad to be rid Of O-li-ver!
[WIDOW CORNEY (spoken)]Lock him up! Collect his belongings then bring him back to me when you've done. To bed, all of you!
