So Long, Farewell

歌詞

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" (Cuckoo, cuckoo) Regretfully they tell us but firmly they compel us (Cuckoo, cuckoo) To say goodbye to you (Cuckoo) 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, au revoir, 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 fleetly flee, I fly The sun has gone to bed and so must I So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
