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 coo coo Regretfully they tell us But firmly they compel us To say goodbye To you ♪ So long, farewell Auf widerzehn goodnight I hate to go and leave this pretty sight ♪ So long, farewell Auf widerzehn adieu Adieu, adieu and you, and you, and you ♪ So long, farewell Au revoir auf widerzehn I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne ♪ So long, farewell Auf widezehn 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 widerzehn goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
