Clive Revill reviewing the situation

Select language to translate this lyric

A man's got a heart, hasn't he?
Joking apart, hasn't he?
And though I'd be the first one to say I wasn't a saint
I'm finding it hard to be really as black as they paint
I'm reviewing the situation
Can a fellow be a villian all his life?
All the trials and tribulation
Better settle down and get meself a wife
And the wife would cook and sew for me
And come for me and go for me
And go for me and nag at me
The finger she will wag at me
The money she will take from me
A misery she'll make for me
I think I'd better think it out again
A wife you can keep, anyway
I'd rather sleep, anyway
Left without anyone in the world 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 everyone I know
Title people!
With a station!
Who can help me make a real impressive show
I will own a suite at Claridges
and run a fleet of carriages
And wave at all the Duchesses with friendliness
As much as is befitting of my new estate
Good Morning to you, Magistrate!
I think I'd better think it out again
So where shall I go, somebody?
Who do I know?
Nobody
All my dearest companions have always been villians and theives
So at my time of life I should start turning over new leaves
I'm reviewing the situation
If you want to eat you've got to earn a bob
Is it such a humiliation?
For a robber to perform an honest job?
So a job I'm getting possibly
I wonder who the boss'll be
I wonder if he'll take to me
What bonuses he'll make to me
I'll start at 8 and finish late
at normal rate and all- but wait!
I think I'd better think it out again
What happens when I'm 70?
Must come a time, 70
When you're old and it's cold
And who cares if you live or you die
The 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 rogue in every way
I don't want nobody hurt for me
Or made to do the dirt for me
This rotten life is not for me
It's getting far too hot for me
Don't want no one to rob for me
But who will find a job for me?
There is no inbetween for me
But who will change the scene for me?
I think I'd better think it out again!
