Be Back Soon

Good luck on your first job, Oliver my dear
I shall be waiting for you here when you come back!

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 twenty
Ain't that a lovely tune?
Be back soon

Our pockets'll 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's why I
Say, "Cheerio"
Not goodbye

Don't be gone long
Be back soon
Give me one long last look
Bless you
Remember our old tune
Be back soon!

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)
I don't know, somehow I'll miss you (We'll be back here today, perhaps tomorrow)
I love you, that why I (we'll miss you too)
Say, "Cheerio" (it's sad but true)
Not goodbye (that parting is such sweet sorrow)

Don't be gone long
Be back soon (and when we're in the distance)
Give me one long last look (you'll hear this)
Bless you (whispered tune)
Remember our old tune (so long, fare the well)
Be back soon! (Pip pip, cheerio, 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!
We'll 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

So long, Fagin!

Dodger (Yep)
If you happen to pass the Tower of London
Have a look at the crown jewels, won't you, boy?
(All right. So long)
