1962 Broadway Oliver! the Musical - Be Back Soon Lyrics
The song was written by Lionel Bart.
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
