Online script of Oliver! https://www.mtishows.com/script/19076089/ MRS. SOWERBERRY Dear me! He's very small. (OLIVER goes onto tip-toe.) MR. BUMBLE Yes, he is rather small - there's no denying it. But he'll grow, Mrs. Sowerberry - he'll grow. (MRS. SOWERBERRY examines OLIVER doubtfully.) MRS. SOWERBERRY I dare say he will, on our vittles and our drink. They're a waste of time, these workhouse boys. They always cost more to keep than what they're worth. What's your name, boy? ---------------- Interesting video. About the band: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Bison The band may be defunct -- they haven't maintained their website: https://web.archive.org/web/20181218211403/https://www.thelastbison.com/ Allegedly, the band spent time in Switzerland, at one point they couldn't all sleep in one remote cabin as it was too small, so one if them had to sleep outdoors in the snow and that way developed empathy for the homeless, ergo, the song. https://genius.com/The-last-bison-switzerland-lyrics Catchy tune, but of course the video has little to do with the original song as written. "Video killed the radio star." Many vids have spoiled my appreciation of a song. This one didn't, but, to me, it added unnecessary layers to the song. Your mileage may vary. Cute boy. Of course, he's all grown up by now. We missed his finest years... M. |
