OLIVER! SOUNDTRACK LYRICS

Be Back Soon

DODGER 

Line up! 

BOYS 

Line up! 

DODGER 

Single file! 

BOYS 

Single file! 
Slope arms 
Left...left 
Right...right...Ol! Ol! 

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 

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

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
