Bon Voyage

Lyrics

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