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 nurs'ry an absurd little bird

Is popping out to say "coocoo"

Regretfully they tell us

But firmly they compel us

To say goodby to you

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, good night

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, adieu

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

So long, farewell, Au'voir, auf wiedersehn

I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, goodbye

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye

Good bye

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 wiedersehn, goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye!
