Be Back Soon Lyrics

    DODGER
    Line up!

    BOYS
    Line up!

    DODGER
    Single file!

    BOYS
    Single file!
    Slope arms
    Left...left
    Right...right...Oi! Oi!

    FAGIN
    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.

    BOYS
    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

    DODGER
    It's him that pays the piper.

    BOYS
    It's us that pipes his tune
    So long, fare thee well
    Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
    We'll be back soon.

    FAGIN
    You can go
    But be back soon
    You can go,
    But bring back plenty
    Of pocket hankerchiefs
    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.

    DODGER
    Our pockets'll hold
    A watch of gold
    That chimes upon the hour

    BOYS
    A wallet fat
    An old man's hat

    DODGER
    The crown jewels from the tower
    We know
    The Bow Street Runners,

    ALL
    But they don't know this tune.
    So long, fare thee well.
    Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
    We'll be back soon.

    FAGIN
    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 you.
    Remember our old tune...
    Be back soon!

    BOYS
    We must disappear,
    We'll be back here,
    Today...
    ...Perhaps tomorrow.
    We'll miss you too

    FAGIN
    It's sad but true
    That parting is such sweet sorrow.

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

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

    FAGIN
    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 you.
    Remember our old tune...
    Be back soon!

    BOYS
    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
    Whipered tune...
    So long, fare thee well
    Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
    We'll be back soon

    You'll hear this
    Whipered tune...
    So long, fare thee well
    Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
    We'll be back soon

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

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

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