THIEVES:
Congratulations, bub, you've joined the club
And everybody here agrees
We got the finest blend of nearly-honest men,
Welcome to the forty thieves!!

A fraternity of thugs that you can trust
There's nothing up our eighty sleeves
Got lotsa grub to share
Pull up an easy chair!
Welcome to the forty thieves!!

Now you get to lie and cheat,
Never hafta brush your teeth
But we always aim to please
Care for one another
You'll never miss your mother

IAGO:
(Oh, I *love* you guys)

THIEVES:
Schemin' up a scam,
Out on a limb,
Takin' whatever we please
And if you like to work
You're gonna love this work!
Welcome to the forty thieves!!

Welcome to the forty thieves!!

CASSIM and THIEVES :
Together we're the perfect team (Aaaah)
Larceny is in the genes (Aaaah)
Dare to share the family dream? (Aaaah)

IAGO:
Live a life o' leisure
Countin' all yer treasure!

THIEVES:
As an honorary member of the gang,
There's no one alive ever leaves,
Ya gotta snatch and sneak
Or else your future's bleak
We got a lifetime contract dat yer bound to keep
You wanna save your skin
You better fit right in,
Wel-wel-welcome to the,
Wel-wel-welcome to the
Forty thieves!!
