It's A Fine Life - Original Cast
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 never tire of it
Leading a merry dance
If you don't mind
Having to go without things
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
Tho it ain't all
Jolly old pleasure outings
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
When you 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
Who cares if straight laces
Sneer at us in the street
Fine airs and fine graces
Don't have to sin to eat
How we wander through London
Who knows what we may find
There's pockets left undone
On many a behind
If you don't mind
Taking it as it turns out
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
Keep the candle burning
Until it burns out
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
Though you sometimes do come by
The occasional black eye
You can always cover one
Till he blacks the other one
But you don't dare cry
No flounces no feathers
No frills and furbelow's
All winds and all weathers
Ain't good for fancy close
These trappings
These tares
These we can just afford
What future
What matters
We've got our bed and board
If you don't mind
Having to deal with Fagin
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
Though diseased rats threaten
To bring the plague in
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
But the grass is green and dense
On the right side of the fence
And we take good care of it
That we get our share of it
And we don't mean pence
If you don't mind
Having to like or lump it
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
Tho there's no teas upping
And eating crumpet
It's a fine life
It's a fine life
Not for me the happy home
Happy husband happy wife
Tho it sometimes touches me
For the likes of such as me
Mine's a fine
Fine life
