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 nurs'ry an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "coocoo"
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodby to you
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu
So long, farewell, Au'voir, auf wiedersehn
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehn, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye
Good bye
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 wiedersehn, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye!
