Are You In or Out?

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?

THIEVES:
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 Paris
Imagine the fear on their faces
When we drop by for cookies and tea

SA'LUK:
Are you in or out?
If you're with me, give a shout
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?
