Song Lyrics

[NANCY (spoken)]

So, 'ow's it go then Dodger? It's all "bowin'" and "'ats off"...


[DODGER (spoken)]

And "Don't let your petticoats go dangling in the mud,

my darling."


[NANCY (spoken)]

Oh, "And I'll go last."


[DODGER (spoken)]

No, I'll go last.


[NANCY (spoken)]

If you insist.


[DODGER (sung)]

I'll do anything

For you dear anything

For you mean everything to me.


I know that

I'll go anywhere

For your smile, anywhere --

For your smile, ev'rywhere --

I'd see.


[NANCY]

Would you climb a hill?


[DODGER]

Anything!


[NANCY]

Wear a daffodil?


[DODGER]

Anything!


[NANCY]

Leave me all your will?


[DODGER]

Anything!


[NANCY]

Even fight my Bill?


[DODGER]

What? Fisticuffs?


I'd risk everything

For one kiss -- everything

Yes, I'd do anything...


[NANCY]

Anything?!


[DODGER]

Anything for you!!


[NANCY (spoken)]

'Ere now, Oliver, you just copy

Dodger and I'll help you out with the words, alright?

So it's "I'll do anything"


[OLIVER (sung)]

I'll do anything


[NANCY (spoken)]

For you dear


[OLIVER (sung)]

For you dear, anything


[NANCY (spoken)]

For you mean


[OLIVER (sung)]

For you mean everything to me


[NANCY (spoken)]

Ah, that's lovely.


[OLIVER]

I know that

I'd go anywhere

For your smile, anywhere --

For your smile, everywhere

I'd see


[BET]

Would you lace my shoe?


[OLIVER]

Anything!


[BET]

Paint your face bright blue?


[OLIVER]

Anything!


[BET]

Catch a kangaroo?


[OLIVER]

Anything!


[BET]

Go to Timbuktu?


[OLIVER]

And back again!

I'd risk ev'rything

For one kiss -- everything --

Yes, I'd do anything


[BET]

Anything?!


[OLIVER]

Anything for you!!


[DODGER (spoken)]

Dance, Nancy.


[NANCY (spoken)]

Oh, alright, Dodge. c'mon boys!

1-2-3...


[FAGIN]

Would you rob a shop?


[ALL]

Anything!


[FAGIN]

Would you risk the "drop"?


[ALL]

Anything!


[FAGIN]

Tho' your eyes go, 'pop'


[ALL]

Anything!


[FAGIN]

When you come down 'plop'


[ALL]

Hang ev'rything!

We'd risk life and limb

To keep you in the swim

Yes, we'd do anything...


[FAGIN]

Anything?!


[ALL]

Anything for you.
