Lyrics
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 handkerchiefs
And you should be clever thieves
Whip it quick and be back soon
There's a six pence 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 long, but be back soon
Give me one long last, 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 dunno, somehow, I'll miss you
I love you, that why I
Say, "Cheerio", not goodbye
Now be gone, but be back soon
Give me one long last, 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
