Oliver - My Name lyrics

SIKES Strong men tremble when they hear it! They've got cause enough to fear it! It's much blacker than they smear it! Nobody mentions... My name! Rich men hold their five-pound notes out -- Saves me emptying their coats out. They know I could tear their throats out Just to live up to... My name! With me Jemmy in me hand, Lemme see the man who dares Stop me Taking what I may He can start to say his prayers! Biceps like an iron girder, Fit for doing of a murder, If I just so much as heard a Bloke even whisper... (spoken) My name! Bill Sikes... Strong men tremble when they hear it! They've got cause enough to fear it! It's much blacker than they smear it! Nobody mentions My name! (sung) Some Toff, slumming wiv his valet, Bumped into me in the alley Now his eyes'll never tally He'd never heard of ... My name! One bloke Used to boast the claim He could take my name in vain... Poor bloke... Shame 'e was so green Never was 'e seen again! Once bad -- What's the good of turning? In hell, I'll be there-a-burning Meanwhile, think of what I'm earning All on account of... My name! What is it? What is it? What is it? NANCY (spoken) My name!
