Fine Life lyrics

Small pleasures, small pleasures

Who would deny us these?

Gin toddies, large measuress

No skimping if you please

I rough it

I love it

Life is a game of chance

I never tire of it

Leading this merry dance

If you don't mind having to go without things

It's a fine life (It's a fine life)

Though it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings

It's a fine life (It's a fine life)

When you got someone to love

You'd 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

Who cares if straightlaces sneer at us in the street?

Fine air and fine grace don't have to sin to eat

We wander through London

Who knows what we many find?

There's pockets left undone

On many a behind

If you don't mind taking it as it turns out

It's a fine life

Keep the candle burning until it burns out

It's a fine life

Though you sometimes do come by

The occasional black eye

You can always cover one

Till he blacks the other one

But you don't dare cry

No flounces, no feathers

No frills and furbelows

All winds and all weathers

Ain't good for fancy clothes

Ah, these trappings (These tatters)

These we can just afford

What future?

What matters?

We've got our bed and board

If you don't mind having to deal with Fagin

It's a fine life (It's a fine life)

Although diseased rats threaten to bring the plague in

It's a fine life (It's a fine life)

And the grass is green and dense

On the right side of the fence

And we take good care of it

That we get our share of it

And we don't mean pence

If you don't mind having to like or lump it

It's a fine life (It's a fine life)

Althought there's no tea-supping and eating crumpet

It's a fine life (It's a fine life)

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, fine life!
