Good luck on your first job my dear

I'll be waiting for you 'ere, when you come 'ome, (er-er-er-er-er-er)



You can go but be back soon, You can go but while you're working

This place I'm pacing round, until you're 'ome safe and sound



Very well, but be back soon, who can tell the dangers lurking

Do not forget this tune, be back soon



How could we forget, how could we let

Our dear old vagan worry, we love him so

We'll come back home in oh such a great big hurry



It's him who plays the piper, it's us that pipes his tune

So long, very well, pip pip cheerio, we'll be back soon



You can go but be back soon, you can go but bring back plenty

Of porkered hankerchieves and you should be clever thieves



Whip it quick and be back soon, there's a sixpence 'ere for twenty

Ain't that a lovely tune, be back soon



Our pockets 'ill 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 their both big runners, But they don't know this tune

So long, very well, pip pip cheerio, we'll be back soon



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 look, bless you

Remember our ol' tu-une, 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 hear this whispered tune

So long, very well, pip pip cheerio, We'll be back soon



We must dissappear, we'll be back here (Cheerio, but be back soon)

Today, perhaps tomorro
