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, "cuckoo!"
Regretfully they tell us cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly the tell us cuckoo, cuckoo
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go to leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu to yieu and yieu and yieu
So long, farewell, au revior, auf Wiedersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
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 fleety flee, I fly
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
