So Long Farewell Lyrics

So Long Farewell lyrics

THE CHILDREN: 

 There's a sad sort of clanking 

 From the clock in the hall 

 And the bells in the steeple too. 

 And up in the nursery an absurd little bird 

 Is popping up to say cukoo! 

 Cukoo! Cukoo! 

 Regretfully they tell us 

  

 But firmly they compel us 

 To say goodbye to you. 

  

 So long 

 Farewell 

 Aufwiedersehn 

 Goodnight 

 I hate to go and leave this pretty sight 

  

 So long 

 Farewell 

 Aufwiedersehn 

 Adeiu 

 Adeiu Adeiu 

 To yieu and yieu and yieu 

  

 So long 

 Farewell 

 Au 'voire 

 Aufwiedersehn 

 I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne 

  

 So long 

 Farewell 

 Aufwiedersehn 

 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 

 Aufwiedersehn 

 Goodbye-- 

  

 Goodbye... 

 Goodbye... 

 Goodbye... 

 Goodbye
