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 plays 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 will 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 don't know, 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 you
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
I don't know, 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 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

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

Tada, Fagin
Dodger?
Yep
If you happen to pass the town of London
Have a look at the crown jewels, won't you, boy?
Alright, tada
