Oliver

Catch him, snatch him, hold him, scold him
  <7    7     <7     7    <7  <7  7   7    <7    7
Pounce him, trounce him, pick him up and bounce him

Wait, before we put the lad to  task

May I  be  so  curious as to ask his name

Oliver,   Oliver,  never before has a boy wanted more

Oliver,   Oliver,  won’t ask for more when he

knows what’s in store
  7    -7 <-7    -9    -7 -9  <-7  -7   7 <-6  7 -7 <-7 -7 7
There’s a dark, thin, winding stairway without any  banister
  -6    7    -7   -9   <9  10  -10  10  -9  <9 -9 10 
Which we’ll throw him down and feed him on cockroaches

Served in a  canister

Oliver,   Oliver,  what will he do when he’s

turned black and blue
-7  -8    7   10   7  <-6 10 -9   -6  -9  10 -9 9
He will curse the day  somebody named him Oliver

There’s a  sooty  chimney long  overdue for a sweeping-out

Which we’ll push him up and one day next year with the rats

He’ll come creeping out

 Oliver,   Oliver,  what will he do in this  terrible  stew

He will rue the day somebody  named him   Oliver
