"Be Back Soon" by Lionel Bart
(4/4 time. 4 bar intro)
​
[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
​
(ALL)
Fare thee well,
But be back soon
Who can tell
Where danger's lurking?
Do not forget this tune
Be back soon.
[PICKPOCKETS]
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.
[PICKPOCKETS]
It's us that calls the tune
So long, fare thee well
Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon!
​
(REPEAT: All singing.)
