Be Back Soon

Good luck on your first job, my dear
I'll be waiting for you here when you come back, ha-ha-ha-ha

You can go but be back soon
You can go, but while you're working
This place, I'm pacing 'round
Until you're home, safe and sound

Fare thee well, but be back soon
Who can tell where danger's lurking?
Do not forget this tune
Be back soon

How could we forget?
How could we let our dear old Fagin worry?
We love him so, we'll come back home
In, oh, such a great big hurry

It's him that pays the piper
It's us that pipes his tune
So long, fare thee well, Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon

You can go but be back soon
You can go, but bring back plenty
Of pocket handkerchiefs
And you should be clever thieves

Whip it quick and be back soon
There's a sixpence here for 20
Ain't that a lovely tune?
Be back soon

Our pockets hold a watch of gold
That chimes upon the hour
A wallet fat, an old man's hat
The Crown Jewels from the tower

We know the Bow Street Runners
But they don't know this tune
So long, fare thee well, Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon

Cheerio, but be back soon
I dunno, somehow I'll miss you
I love you, that why I
Say, "Cheerio" not, "Goodbye"

Don't be gone long, be back soon
Give me one long last look, bless ya
Remember our old tune
Be back soon

We must disappear, we'll be back here
Today, perhaps tomorrow
We'll miss you too, it's sad but true
That parting is such sweet sorrow

And when we're in the distance
You'll hear this whispered tune
So long, fare thee well, Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon

Cheerio, but be back soon (we must disappear, we'll be back here)
I dunno, somehow I'll miss you (today, perhaps tomorrow)
I love you, that why I say, "Cheerio" (we'll miss you too, It's sad but true)
Not goodbye (that parting is such sweet sorrow)

Let's be gone and be back soon (and when we're in the distance)
Give me one long last look, bless you (you'll hear this whispered tune)
Remember our old tune (So long, fare thee well, Pip! Pip! Cheerio!)
Be back soon (we'll be back soon)

And when we're in the distance
You'll hear this whispered tune
So long, fare thee well, Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
Be back soon

So long, fare thee well, Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon
So long, fare thee well, Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon
