Be Back Soon

Slope arms
Left...left
Right...right...Oi! Oi!

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 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.

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 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
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.

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!

We must disappear
We'll be back here
Today
erhaps 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.

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.
