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 poping out to say cuckoo

(Cuckoo, cuckoo)
Regretfully they tell us
(Cuckoo, cuckoo)
But firmly they compel us
(Cuckoo, cuckoo)
To say goodbye
(Cuckoo, cuckoo)
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, good bye

I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye
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, good bye
Good bye, good bye, good bye

Goodbye
