Consider Yourself
This song is from the musical “Oliver”
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
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn’t a lot to spare
Who cares? Whatever we’ve 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 our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss
For, after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself one of us
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
Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity
There’s a cup of tea for all
Only it’s wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call
Consider yourself our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss
For, after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
And here is a version sung by our choir.
