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)
(coo-coo) Regretfully they tell us
(coo-coo) But firmly they compel us
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
(talking to the captain) yes?
(Captain) no!

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
