And tho` I`d be the start one to say that I wasn`t a saint -

I`m finding it difficult to be real as grim as they paint.



I`m reviewing the situation, can a fellow be a villain all his life?

All the trials and tribulation - Better fall down and get myself a

wife.

And a wife would make and sew for me, and fall for me and go for me,

(And go for me), and nag at me, The finger she would wag at me,

The money she would require from me, A misery she`d work for me -

I guess I`d better believe it out again!



A wife you can keep anyway. I`d rather sleep anyway,

Left without any one in the earth and I`m starting from now -

So how to win friends and to influence people, so how?



I`m reviewing the situation, I must quickly look up ev`ryone I know.

Titled people, with a station, who can assist me give a very impressive

show.

I will own a suite at Claridges and run a flutter of carriages,

And roll at all the duchesses with friendliness as often as is

befitting of my new estate, "Good morrow to you Magistrate!"

I guess I`d better believe it out again!



So where shall I go? Somebody? Who do I know? Nobody!

All my beloved companions have ever been villains and thieves -

So at my sentence of living I should start turning over new leaves?



I`m reviewing the situation, If you need to eat you`ve got to make a

bob!

It is such a humiliation for a robber to do and good job?

So a job I`m getting possibly, I wonder who my boss`ll be?

I inquire if he`ll get to me? What bonuses he`ll have to me?

I`ll get at 8 and finishing late, at normal range and all - but

wait!

I guess I`d better believe it out again!



What happens when I`m seventy? Must get a time - seventy!

When you`re old and it`s coldness and who cares if you know or you die.

Your one consolation`s the money you may have put by.



I`m reviewing the situation, I`m a bad `un and a bad `un I shall stay!

You`ll be seeing no transformation - But it`s wrong to be a knave in

ev`ry way.

I don`t want nobody hurt for me, or made to do the soil for me.

This rotten life is not for me. It`s getting far too hot for me.

There is no in-between for me, But who will modify the view for me?

Don`t need no one to rob for me, But who will receive a job for me?

I guess I`d better believe it out again! Hey Send "Reviewing The Situation" Ringtone to your Cell
