[00:11.028] A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
[00:14.494] Joking apart - hasn't he?
[00:17.828] And tho' I'd be the first one to say that I wasn't a saint,
[00:25.405] I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint...
[00:35.287] I'm reviewing the situation
[00:41.243] Can a fellow be a villain all his life?
[00:45.066] All the trials and tribulations!
[00:48.674] Better settle down and get myself a wife.
[00:52.519] And a wife would cook and sew for me,
[00:54.528] And come for me, and go for me,
[00:56.314] And go for me, and nag at me,
[00:58.061] The fingers, she would wag at me.
[00:59.776] The money she would take from me.
[01:01.163] A misery, she'd make from me...
[01:04.663] ...I think I'd better think it out again!
[01:10.813] A wife you can keep, anyway,
[01:15.357] I'd rather sleep, anyway.
[01:19.106] Left without anyone in the world,
[01:21.506] And I'm starting from now.
[01:24.531] So "how to win friends and to influence people"
[01:30.158] --So how?
[01:36.181] I'm reviewing the situation,
[01:42.469] I must quickly look up everyone I know.
[01:46.604] Titled people - with a station -
[01:49.831] Who can help me make a real impressive show!
[01:53.810] I will own a suite at Claridges,
[01:55.569] And run a fleet of carriages,
[01:57.162] And wave at all the duchesses
[01:58.711] With friendliness, as much as is
[02:00.329] Befitting of my new estate...
[02:01.901][Good morrow to you, magistrate!]
[02:07.688] ...I think I'd better think it out again.
[02:27.441] What happens when I'm seventy?
[02:33.271] Must come a time...seventy.
[02:38.019] When you're old, and it's cold
[02:41.414] And who cares if you live or you die,
[02:49.481] Your one consolation's the money
[02:53.587] You may have put by...
[02:59.662] I'm reviewing the situation.
[03:05.417] I'm a bad 'un and a bad 'un I shall stay!
[03:09.103] You'll be seeing no transformation,
[03:12.192] But it's wrong to be a rogue in every way.
[03:15.461] I don't want nobody hurt for me,
[03:17.909] Or made to do the dirt for me.
[03:19.642] This rotten life is not for me.
[03:21.281] It's getting far too hot for me.
[03:22.891] There is no in between for me
[03:24.691] But who will change the scene for me?
[03:27.699] Don't want no one to rob for me.
[03:33.789] But who will find a job for me
[03:37.268] ...I think I'd better think it out again!
[03:39.277] Hey!
