Oliver! the Musical - I'd Do Anything Lyrics


The song was written by Lionel Bart.

NANCY (spoken):
So, 'ow's it go then Dodger? It's all "bowin'" and "'ats off"...

DODGER (spoken):
And "Don't let your petticoats go dangling in the mud, my darling."

NANCY (spoken):
Oh, "And I'll go last."

DODGER (spoken):
No, I'll go last.

NANCY (spoken):
If you insist.

DODGER:
I'll do anything
For you dear anything
For you mean everything to me.

I know that
I'll go anywhere
For your smile, anywhere --
For your smile, ev'rywhere --
I'd see.

NANCY:
Would you climb a hill?

DODGER:
Anything!

NANCY:
Wear a daffodil?

DODGER:
Anything!

NANCY:
Leave me all your will?

DODGER:
Anything!

NANCY:
Even fight my Bill?

DODGER:
What? Fisticuffs?

I'd risk everything
For one kiss -- everything
Yes, I'd do anything...

NANCY:
Anything?!

DODGER:
Anything for you!!

NANCY (spoken):
'Ere now, Oliver, you just copy Dodger
and I'll help you out with the words, alright? So it's
"I'll do anything"

OLIVER:
I'll do anything

NANCY (spoken):
For you dear

OLIVER:
For you dear, anything

NANCY (spoken):
For you mean

OLIVER:
For you mean everything to me

NANCY (spoken):
Ah, that's lovely.

OLIVER:
I know that
I'd go anywhere
For your smile, anywhere --
For your smile, everywhere
I'd see

BET:
Would you lace my shoe?

OLIVER:
Anything!

BET:
Paint your face bright blue?

OLIVER:
Anything!

BET:
Catch a kangaroo?

OLIVER:
Anything!

BET:
Go to Timbuktu?

OLIVER:
And back again!
I'd risk ev'rything
For one kiss -- everything --
Yes, I'd do anything

BET:
Anything?!

OLIVER:
Anything for you!!

DODGER (spoken):
Dance, Nancy.

NANCY (spoken):
Oh, alright, Dodge. C'mon boys! 1-2-3...

FAGIN:
Would you rob a shop?

ALL:
Anything!

FAGIN:
Would you risk the "drop"?

ALL:
Anything!

FAGIN:
Tho' your eyes go, 'pop'

ALL:
Anything!

FAGIN:
When you come down 'plop'

ALL:
Hang ev'rything!
We'd risk life and limb
To keep you in the swim
Yes, we'd do anything...

FAGIN:
Anything?!

ALL:
Anything for you.
