So Long, Farewell

There's a sad sort of clanking

From the clock in the hall

And the bells in the steeple, too

And up in the nursery an absurd little bird

Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

There's a sad sort of clanking

From the clock in the hall

And the bells in the steeple, too

And up in the nursery an absurd little bird

Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

So long

Farewell

Auf wiedersehen

Goodnight

I hate to go

And leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell

Auf wiedersehen, goodnight

I hate to go

And leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell

Auf wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu

To you, and you, and you

So long

Farewell

Au revoir

I'd like to stay

And taste my first champagne

So long, farewell

Auf wiedersehen, goodnight

I hate to go

And leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell

Auf wiedersehen

Goodbye

There's a sad sort of clanking

From the clock in the hall

And the bells in the steeple, too

And up in the nursery an absurd little bird

Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

I'm glad to go

I cannot tell a lie

I flit, I float

I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone

To bed and so must I

So long, farewell

Auf wiedersehen, goodbye
