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
