MAGWITCH:
Do you know what a file is?
And what vittles is?
Do ya, boy?
Get ‘em, boy!
Bring ‘em here afore the light of day, be mindful
Delay me, there’ll be hell to pay
Do you know what a knife is
It’s for cuttin’ things
Like a pie, or a throat
I’ll come callin’ in the night, dear boy
I’ll carve you
A cannibal’s delight, dear boy
Do as I say
Or I'll slit your gut
And let your innards decay
I'll come creeping, while you’re sleeping
If you betray
Do as I say
MRS. JOE:
Better come here you monkey
You’ve been gone all day
Give me fits tellin’ lies
Retribution must be made and more
The piper must be paid, I’m sure
I’ve been nursemaid and nanny
All the sacrifice
What I done just for you
Gave my life to raise you up by hand, you ingrate
Now it’s the time to reprimand
Do as I say
Must I whip you raw
Until you learn to obey
What a beatin; you're entreatin'
Don't back away
Do as I say
MRS. JOE:
Do as I say
MAGWITCH:
Do as I say
BOTH:
Do as I say
MAGWITCH:
I'll slit your gut
And let your innards decay
MRS. JOE:
It’s a beating you’re entreating
MAGWITCH:
If you betray
MRS. JOE:
Don’t run away
BOTH:
DO AS I SAY!
YOUNG PIP:
If I should steal, one simple meal I'll be beaten
If I confess the rod might be spared
If I reveal, what I conceal, I'll be eaten
Please help me God, answer my prayer
