Lyrics
Small pleasures, small pleasures Who would deny us these? (Not me) Gin toddies, large measuress No skimpin' 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 (fine life) Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings It's a fine life (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? A 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 (fine life) Keep the candle burning until it burns out It's a fine life (fine life) Though you sometimes do come by The occasional black eye You can always cover one While 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 clo'es Ah, these trappings These ta'ers These we can just afford What future? What ma'ers? We've got our bed and board If you don't mind having to deal with fagin It's a fine life (fine life) Although diseased rats threaten to bring the plague in It's a fine life (fine life) But 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 (fine life) Althought there's no tea-supping and eating crumpet It's a fine life (fine life) Not for me The happy home Happy husband Happy wife Tho' it sometimes touches me For the likes of such as me Mine's a fine fine life!
