So Long, Farewell Lyrics
All children
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
Coo-coo, coo-coo
coo-coo Regretfully they tell us
coo-coo But firmly they compel us
to say goodnight
coo-coo
All
To you
Children
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight
Marta
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
Children
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Fredrick
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you
Children
So long, farewell
Au revoir, Auf Weidersehen
Leisel
I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne
(talking to the captain) yes?
Captain
No!
Children
So long, farewell
Auf Weidersehen, goodbye
Kurt
I leave and heave
A sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye
Brigitta
I'm glad to go
I cannot tell a lie
Louisa
I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly
Gretel
The sun has gone
To bed and so must I
Children
So long, farewell
Auf Weidersehen, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Guests
Goodbye
