I Shall Scream lyrics
by Lionel Bart
[MR BUMBLE] (Spoken)
Are you hard-hearted, Mrs. Corney?
[WIDOW CORNEY] (Spoken)
Dear me, what a very curious question coming from a single man! What can you want to know for, Mr. B? ...Oh, Mr. Bumble, I shall scream!
[WIDOW CORNEY]
You're a naughty, bad man
If you think I can't be proper, prim and haughty
I can!
And you'll pardon if I mention
You must state your true intention
[MR BUMBLE]
Is there not another room here?
If there were a bride and groom here
Would there be?
[WIDOW CORNEY]
Well, there might!
[MR BUMBLE]
We shall see
[WIDOW CORNEY]
I shall scream
I shall scream!
At the thought of what you're thinking
I shall scream
[MR BUMBLE]
You will wonder where the scream went
When we come to an agreement
As my lovey-dovey's chubby
Could she love a chubby hubby?
[WIDOW CORNEY]
I shall scream, Mr. Bumble!
I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble
I shall scream!
[WIDOW CORNEY] (Spoken)
Oh, Mr. Bumble, oh you are a naughty pus*y cat!
[MR BUMBLE] (Spoken)
Come on then! I'll get you, you little minx! You think you can get away from me?
[MR BUMBLE]
Will my blinthseome, buxum beauty
Let her suitor do his duty?
[WIDOW CORNEY]
I shall scream, Mr. Bumble!
I shall scream, Bumble-Wumble
I shall scream!
[MR BUMBLE]
Scream!
[WIDOW CORNEY]
Scream!
[DODGER] (Spoken)
What you staring at? Ain't you ever seen a toff?
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
No, never
[DODGER] (Spoken)
Tired?
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
Yes, I've been walking seven days!
[DODGER] (Spoken)
Seven days? Are you... accomodated?
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
I don't think so-
[DODGER] (Spoken)
Then accomodated you shall be, me young mate! And I know a 'spectable old gentleman who will give you lodgings for nothing
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
Who's this respectable old gentleman then?
[DODGER] (Spoken)
Mr. Fagin
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
My name's Oliver, Oliver Twist!
[DODGER] (Spoken)
And I'm Jack Dawkins, better known amongst my more intimate friends as The Artful Dodger
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Dawkins! Are you sure Mr. Fagin won't mind?
[DODGER] (Spoken)
Mind?
