Are You In Or Out? - Jerry Orbach

SA’LUK:

I remember a time

When crime was sublime

There was plenty of loot in the lair

We’d plunder and pillage

And ransack a village

With nary a worry or care

Then along came this king

With his soft-hearted dream

But he ratted us out in the end,

So rally the troops!

We were meant to regroup

And return to our roots once again!

Are you in or out?

Gotta know without a doubt

I’m the one you need for a dirty deed

I’m the best, success is guaranteed

Are you men or mice?

Take a slice of my advice!

You want a fearless leader, one that’s strong and stout?

Better vote for me

Are you in or out?

THIVES:

We used to be smart, yes,

Horrendously heartless

In ravaging raids, we were rough

We knew what we had

To be blissfully bad;

Then Cassim brought this sensitive stuff!

And we strayed from the path

Of our rigorous wrath;

Now we’re taking a bath in the dust!

But we’ll reclaim our winnings,

Our humble beginnings,

In turmoil and torture we trust!

SA’LUK:

Are you in or out?

Double-crossers or devout?

Put your faith in me,

Pretty soon you’ll see

I’m the prince of generosity

Are you foe or friend?

Here’s the path I recommend

You want a ride to fame?

I’ve got the fastest route;

What’s it gonna be?

Are you in or out?

THIEVES:

We’ll go robbing in all the right places,

From Agrabah dunes to Bali

Imagine the fear on their faces

When we drop by for cookies and tea

SA’LUK:

Come along, boys!

Follow me!

Are you in or out?

If you’re with me, give a shout (YAY!)

I’ll lead you all the way,

Into the glory days

THIEVES:

We’ll begin a life of crime that pays

Are you out or in?

Make your choice now, sink or swim!

SA’LUK:

You can stick with me, or stay behind and pout

What’s it gonna be?

Consider carefully.

Are you in or out?
