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

Regretfully they tell us

But firmly they compel us

To say goodbye

To you

So long farewell

Auf wiedersehen goodnight

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

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
