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!

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

BOYS

So long, fare thee well
Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon
