So Long, Farewell

So Long, Farewell - Rosina Raisbeck

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 cuckoo

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 au revoir

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

Goodbye
