The world's greatest criminal mind (Mancini)

Ha ha ha ha ha
from the brain that brought you the Big Ben Caper
the head that made headlines in every newspaper
and wondrous things like the Tower Bridge Job
that cunning display that made London a sob
now comes the real tour de force
tricky and wicked, of course

My earlier crimes were fine for their times
but now that I'm at it again
an even grimmer plot has been simmering
in my great criminal brain

Even meaner ? you mean it ?
worse than the widows and orphans you drowned ?
you're the best of the worst around
Oh Ratigan, oh Ratigan
the rest fall behind
to Ratigan, to Ratigan
the world's greatest criminal mind

Oh Ratigan, oh Ratigan
you're tops and that's that
to Ratigan, to Ratigan
the world's greatest rat

(Batholomeus:)
Oh Ratigan, oh Ratigan
you're the tops and that's that
to Ratigan, to Ratigan

to Ratigan, the world's greatest ....

.......

Even louder, we'll shout it
no one can doubt what we know you can do
you're more evil than even you

oh Ratigan, oh Ratigan
you're one of a kind
to Ratigan, to Ratigan
the world's greatest criminal mind

Let me be good to you (Manchester)

Dearest friends, dear gentlemen, listen to my song
life down here's been hard for you, life has made you strong
let me lift the mood
with my attitude

Hey, fellas, the time is right
get ready, tonight's the night
boys, what you're hopin' for will come true
let me be good to you

You tough guys, you're feelin' all alone
you rough guys, the best of you sailors and bums
all of my chums

So dream on and drink your beer
get cosy, your baby's here
you won't be misunderstood
let me be good to you

Hey, fellas, I'll take off all my blues
hey, fellas, there's nothing I won't do
just for you

So dream on and drink your beer
get cosy, your baby's here
hey boys, I'm talkin' to you
your baby's gonna come through
let me be good to you, yeah

Goodbye (Mancini)
Note: Because it's nonsense to type the lyrisc as can be heard in the movie
(changng scenes, record is snagging and jumping), here is the logical summary:

Goodbye so soon
and isn't this a crime ?
we know by now that time knows how to fly
so here's goodbye so soon
you'll find your separate way
with time so short I'll say so long
and go so soon, goodbye

You followed me, I followed you
we were like each other's shadows for a while
now as you see, this game is through
so although it hurts

I'll try to smile as I say

Goodbye so soon
and isn't this a crime ?
we know by now that time knows how to fly
so here's goodbye so soon
you'll find your separate way
with time so short I'll say so long
and go so soon, goodbye

Goodbye (Reprise) (Mancini)

Goodbye so soon
and isn't it a shame ?
we know by now that time knows how to fly
so here's goodbye so soon
we'll go our separate ways
with time so short I'll say so long
and go so soon, goodbye

Goodbye so soon
and isn't it a shame ?
we know by now that time knows how to fly
so here's goodbye so soon
we'll go our separate ways
with time so short I'll say so long
and go so soon, goodbye
