Consider Yourself lyrics
by Lionel Bart
[DODGER]
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
I've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
Consider yourself well-in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares? What-ever we got we share!
If it should chance to be we should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself my mate
We don't wanna have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
Consider yourself
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
At home?
[DODGER]
(Yes, yes)
Consider yourself
[OLIVER] (Spoken)
One of the family?
[DODGER]
I've taken to you
[OLIVER]
So strong
[DODGER]
It's clear
[DODGER, OLIVER]
We're going to get along
[DODGER]
Consider yourself
[CHARLEY]
Well-in! (Oy, oy!)
[DODGER]
Consider yourself
[DANDY]
Part of the furniture
[DODGER]
There isn't a lot to spare (ooh, lovely)
[DODGER, CHARLEY, DANDY]
Who cares? What-ever we got we share
[DODGER]
Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity
There's a cup of tea for all
[DODGER, CHARLEY, DANDY]
Only it's wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call
[DODGER]
Consider yourself our mate!
[DODGER, CHARLEY, DANDY]
We don't wanna have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
[OLIVER]
Consider yourself
[DODGER, CHARLEY, DANDY] (Spoken)
Yes!
[DODGER, CHARLEY, DANDY, OLIVER]
One of us!
[ENSEMBLE]
Consider yourself at home
We've taken to you so strong
Consider yourself well-in
There isn't a lot to spare
If it should chance to be we should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself our mate
We don't wanna have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
[DODGER]
Consider yourself
[ENSEMBLE]
At home
[DODGER]
Consider yourself
[ENSEMBLE]
At home
[DODGER]
We've taken to you
[ENSEMBLE]
So strong
[DODGER]
Consider yourself
[ENSEMBLE]
Well-in
There isn't a lot to spare
[FEMALE ENSEMBLE]
Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity
There's a cup of tea for all
[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Only it's wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call
Consider yourself our mate
[FEMALE ENSEMBLE]
We don't wanna have no fuss
[ENSEMBLE]
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
If it should chance to be we should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Drinks are on the house
Drinks are on the house
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong
It's clear we're going to get along
If it should chance to be we should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill (oy!)
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself our mate
We don't wanna have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself
Consider yourself
Consider yourself one of us
