TITLE: Be Back Soon
Lyrics and Chords
[Oliver!]
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
/ C - - - / Am D7 G7 - / C - F A7 / D7 - G7 - /
/ 1st, 2nd / C - F - / D7 G7 C - /
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
It's him that pays the piper
It's us that calls the tune
So long, fare-thee-well, pip pip, cheerio
We'll be back soon
/ C - - - / Am7 D7 G7 - / C C7 Dm - / D7 - G7 - /
/ 1st, 2nd / C C7 F6 - / D7 G7 C - /
You can go but be back soon
You can go but bring back plenty
Of wallets full of cash
Don't want to see any trash
Whip 'em quick and be back soon
Only thick ones now not empty
Get rich this afternoon
Be back soon
Our pockets'll hold a watch of gold
That chimes upon the hour
A wallet fat, an old man's hat
The crown jewels from the tower
We know the nosy policemen
But they don't know this tune
So long, fare-thee-well, pip pip, cheerio
We'll be back soon
Cheerio but be back soon
I don't know, somehow I miss ya
I love ya, that's 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 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 here this whispered tune
So long, fare-thee-well, pip pip, cheerio
We'll be back soon
{Repeat last two verses simultaneously}
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
So long, fare-thee-well, pip pip, cheerio
We'll be back soon
