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 (cuckoo) to say goodbye

To you

So long farewell

Auf Wiedersehen goodnight

We hate to go and miss this pretty sight

So long farewell

Auf Wiedersehen adieu

Adieu adieu to yieu and yieu and yieu

So long farewell

Auf Wiedersehen goodbye

We flit we float we fleetly flee we fly

So long farewell

Auf Wiedersehen goodbye

The sun has gone to bed and so must I

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
