NANCY: 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'll never tire of it -- Leading this merry dance.
If you don't mind having to go without things,
It's a fine life!
ALL : It's a Fine life!
NANCY : And though it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings,
It's a fine life!
ALL: It's a Fine life!
NANCY: When you've 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!
ALL: It's a fine,
fine life BET: No flounces,
no feathers,
No frills and furbelows.
All winds and all weathers Ain't good for fancy clothes.
NANCY: These trappings,
BET: These tatters,
BET and NANCY: These we can just afford.
NANCY: What future?
BET: What matters: BET and NANCY: We've got our bed and board.
NANCY: If you don't mind having to deal with Fagin,
It's a fine life!
ALL: It's a Fine life!
NANCY: And though diseased rats threaten to bring the plague in,
It's a fine life!
ALL: Fine life!
NANCY: But the grass is green and dense On the right side of the fence.
So we take good care of it That we get our share of it ALL: And we don't mean pence!
BET and NANCY: If you don't mind having to like or lump it,
It's a fine life!
ALL: It's a Fine life!
NANCY: Though there's no tea-sippin' and eatin' crumpet,
It's a fine life!
ALL: It's a Fine life!
NANCY: Not for me,
the happy home: Happy husband,
happy wife.
Though it sometimes touches me,
For the likes of such as me,
Mine's a fine.
ALL: Fine life!
