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
A absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
coo-coo coo-coo coo-coo
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye 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 you and you and you
So long farewell
Auf Wiedersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
no?
no!
So long farewell
Auf Wiedersehen 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 Wiedersehen goodbye
Goodbye…Goodbye… goodbye
Good-bye!
