So Long, Farewell

[Intro] 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, cuckoo) Regretfully they tell us, but firmly they compel us To say goodnight to you [Verse 1] So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, good night I hate to go And leave this pretty sight [Verse 2] So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, adieu Adieu, adieu To you and you and you [Verse 3] So long, farewell Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen I'd like to stay And taste my first champagne [Verse 4] So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye I leave and heave A sigh and say goodbye, goodbye [Verse 5] I'm glad to go I cannot tell a lie I flit, I float I fleetly flee, I fly [Verse 6] The sun has gone To bed and so must I So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye [Outro] Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
