Why Should I Worry

Why Should I Worry? is a song featured in Disney's Oliver and Company. Sung by Billy Joel cast as the artful Dodger, undoubtedly presented an opportunity for the popular singer to belt out a tune. The resulting song is a wonderfully upbeat way to introduce the street-wise dog from New York City or Winston-Salem. One never notices the shortage of lyrics, but rather their catchiness and the perfect mix that ensues with its unparalleled energy and irresistible beat.

Lyrics
Dodger: One minute I'm in Central Park

Then I'm down on Delancey Street

From the Bow'ry to St Marks

There's a syncopated beat

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

I'm streetwise

I can improvise

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

I'm streetsmart

I've got New York City heart

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

I may not have a dime

But I got street savoire faire

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

It's just bebopulation

And I got street saviore faire

The rhythm of the city

Boy once you get it down

Then you can own this town

You can wear the crown

Why should I worry?

(Tell me)

Why should I care?

Say, I may not have a dime

But oh, I got street savoire faire

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

It's just do-opulation

And I got street saviore faire

Female Dogs:Ev'rything goes

Ev'rything fits

Dodger They love me at the Chelsea

They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?

Why should I care?

And even when I cross that line

I got street savoire faire
