So Long, Farewell

There's a sad sort of clanging 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" (Cuckoo, cuckoo)

Regretfully, they tell us (Cuckoo)

But firmly, they compel us (Cuckoo)

To say goodbye (Cuckoo)

To you

So long, farewell

Auf Wiederseh'n, goodnight

I hate to go

And leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell

Auf Wiederseh'n, adieu

Adieu, adieu

To yieu and yieu and yieu

So long, farewell

Au revoir, auf Wiederseh'n

I'd like to stay

And taste my first champagne

So long, farewell

Auf Wiederseh'n, goodbye

I leave, and heave

A sigh and say goodbye

Goodbye

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 Wiederseh'n, goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
