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 coo-coo

(Coo-coo, coo-coo)

Regretfully they tell us (coo-coo)

But firmly they compel us (coo-coo)

To say good bye (coo-coo)

To you...

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, auf weidersehen

I'd like to stay

And taste my first champagne

So long, farewell

Auf weidersehen, 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 weidersehen, goodbye

Goodbye...

Goodbye...

Goodbye...

Goodbye
