[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

Bid you well but be back soon
Who can tell where danger's lurking?
Do not forget this tune
Be back soon

[DODGER]
How could we forget?
How could we let our dear old Fagin worry?

[FAGIN'S GANG]
We love him so, we'll come back home
In oh such a great big hurry

[DODGER]
It's him that pays the piper

[FAGIN'S GANG]
It's us that pipes this 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 handkerchiefs
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

[FAGIN'S GANG]
A wallet fat
An old man's hat

[DODGER]
The crown jewels from the tower

[FAGIN'S GANG]
We know the Bow Street Runners

[FAGIN]
But they don't know this tune

[FAGIN'S GANG]
So long, fare thee well, pip pip cheerio
We'll be back soon

[FAGIN]
(Line up!)
Cheerio, but be back soon
I dunno, somehow I'll miss you
I love you, that's why I
Say cheerio, not bye-bye

Don't be gone long, be back soon
Give me one long last look, bless you!
Remember our old tune
Be back soon

[DODGER, CHARLEY, DANDY, OLIVER]
We must disappear
We'll be back here

[FAGIN] (Spoken)
Oh god, they're back...

[DODGER, CHARLEY, DANDY, OLIVER]
Today, perhaps tomorrow
We'll miss you too

[FAGIN]
It's sad but true
That parting is such sweet sorrow

[FAGIN'S GANG]
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

[FAGIN] (FAGIN'S GANG)
Cheerio, but be back soon (We must disappear)
I dunno, somehow I'll miss you (We'll be back here, today, perhaps tomorrow)
I love you, that's why I (We'll miss you too, it's sad but true)
Say cheerio, not bye-bye (That parting is such sweet sorrow)
Don't be gone long, be back soon (And when we're in the distance)
Give me one long last look, bless you! (You'll hear this whispered tune)
Remember our old tune (So long, fare thee well, pip pip cheerio, we'll)

[FAGIN, FAGIN'S GANG]
Be back soon

[FAGIN'S GANG]
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

[OLIVER]
So long, fare thee well, pip pip cheerio

[FAGIN'S GANG]
We'll be back soon
