Be Back Soon - Georgia Brown, Martin Horsey, Keith Hampshire

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 the 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 a such a great big hurry

DODGER:

It’s him who plays the piper

BOYS:

It’s the one that pipes his tune!

So long fare the 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 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!

DODGER:

Our pockets hold a watch of gold

That chimes upon the hour!

SOLO BOY:

A wallet fat, an old man’s hat

SOL BOY #2:

The jewels from the tower

BOYS:

We know the nosy policemen

But they don’t know this tune

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

We’ll be back soon!

FAGIN:

Cheerio but be back soon

I don’t know 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 god 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 picking

Is such sweet sorrow!

BOYS:

And when we’re in the distance

You’ll hear this whispered tune

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

We’ll 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 whispered tune

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

We’ll be back soon!

FAGIN:

Cheerio but be back soon

I don’t know 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 god bless you

Remember our old tune

Be back soon!

BOYS:

And when we’re in the distance

You’ll hear this whispered tune

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

We’ll be back soon!

OLIVER:

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

We’ll be back soon!

BOYS:

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

We’ll be back soon!
