Consider Yourself lyrics – song lyrics from Oliver!

Consider Yourself is a song from the musical Oliver!.  It is performed in the market and led by the Artful Dodger. Dodger sings it when he first meets Oliver, after offering to get the destitute and lonely boy food and lodging. 

Artful Dodger: (spoken) So, Oliver Twist, you’re coming with me.

Oliver: (spoken) Are you sure Mr. Fagin won’t mind?

Artful Dodger: (spoken) Mind?!

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…

Artful Dodger: Consider yourself…

Snake: Part of the furniture

Artful Dodger: There isn’t a lot to spare

All: Who cares?
Whatever we got we share

Artful Dodger:  Nobody tries to be lah-di-dah or uppity–
There a cup-o’-tea for all.

All: Only it’s wise to be handy with a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to call!

Artful Dodger:  Consider yourself
Our mate.
We don’t want to have no fuss

All: For after some consideration we can sate

Oliver: Consider yourself

Artful Dodger: Yes!

All: One of us!

Company: 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 want to have no fuss
For after some consideration, we can state…
Consider yourself…
One of us!

Artful Dodger:  Consider yourself

All: At home.

Artful Dodger:  We’ve taken to you

All: So strong

Artful Dodger:  Consider yourself

All: Well in.

There isn’t a lot to spare.

Nobody tries to be lah-di-dah or uppity.
There’s a cup-o’-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…

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.

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!!
