FAGIN:

You can go but be back soon

you can go but while you're working,

just play some pacing round,

until you're home safe and sound

Fare the 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 a such a great big hurry



DODGER:

It's him who plays the piper,



BOYS:

It's us that pipes his tune!

So long fare the 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 hankerchieves

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!



SOLO BOY:

A wallet fat



SOLO BOY #2:

an old man's hat,



DODGER:

The crown jewels from the tower!



BOYS:

we know the bow street runners,



DODGER:

But they don't know this tune!



BOYS:

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

we'll be back soon!



FAGIN:

Cheerio but be back soon,

I don't know somehow I'll miss you

I love you that's why I

say cheerio not goodbye

Don't be gone long be back soon

give me one long last god 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 whispered tune,

So long fare the well, pip pip cheerio

we'll be back soon!
