"5: Consider Yourself"
Oliver and Artful Dodger
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares? Whatever we've got, we share
If it's your chance to be
We should see some harder days
Empty lot of days
Why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For, after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself one of us
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares? Whatever we got, we share
Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity
There's a cup of tea for all
Only it's wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call
Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For, after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
Consider yourself at home
We've taken to you so strong
Consider yourself well in
There isn't a lot to spare
Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity
There's a cup of tea for all
Only it's wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call
Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For, after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself one of us
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares? Whatever we've got, we share
If it's your chance to be
We should see some harder days
Empty lot of days
Why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself our mate
We don't want to have no fuss
For, after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself one of us
