A Fine Life

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!
