Lyrics

Bon voyage, dear fellow
Dear benefactor of your fellow man!
May good luck attend you
Do come again and see us when you can

Oh, but I'm bad
Oh, but I'm bad
Playing such a very dirty trick on such a fine lad!
I'm a low cad
I'm a low cad
Every time I do this sort of thing it makes me so sad
Ever so sad!
Oh, but I'm bad!
Ever so bad!

Bon voyage, bon voyage, bon voyage, bon voyage

Bon voyage!

Bon voyage, we'll see ya
Do have a jolly trip across the foam!
Santa Rosalia
Do have a safe and pleasant journey home, journey home
Bon voyage, bon voyage

I'm so rich that my life is an utter bore
There is just not a thing that I need
My desirеs are as dry as an apple core
And my only еmotion is greed
Which is why, though I've nothing to spend it for
I have swindled this gold from Candide
Poor Candide!

But I never would swindle the humble poor
For you can't get a turnip to bleed
When you swindle the rich you get so much more
Which is why I have swindled Candide
Oh dear, I fear
He's going down, he's going to drown!
Ah, poor Candide!
Bon voyage, dear stranger
Hope that the crossing will not prove too grim
You seem to be in danger
But we expect that you know how to swim

What a dumb goat, what a dumb goat
Handing me a fortune for a perfect wreck of a boat
Never did float, never did float
This is going to make a most amusing anecdote
Never did float, wreck of a boat
What a dumb goat!

Bon voyage, bon voyage, bon voyage, bon voyage

Bon voyage!

Bon voyage, best wishes!
Seems to have been a bit of sabotage
Things don't look propitious
Still from the heart we wish you
Bon voyage, bon voyage, bon voyage, bon voyage
Bon voyage, bon voyage

Bon voyage!

Dear fellow, bon voyage!
