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 up to say, "Cuckoo cuckoo!"

Regretfully they tell us but firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you.

So long, farewell,auf wiedersehen, good night.
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

So long, farewell auf wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen.
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?
"no."

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say 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 wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye
