[Male Soloist #1]
'Ere in London's East End
It's the pit of the Earth -

Where you won't find a friend -
Where yer life 'as no worth -

[Male Soloist #1 with Female Soloist #1]
Death is waiting -
Fate is markin' yer card

[Male Soloist #1 with Male Soloist #2]
You got one chance in five -
They're the odds you must beat

If you wanna survive -
So be fast on yer feet!

[Ensemble]
Life is hard 'ere -
It's the devil's backyard!
