There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And a bells in the steeple too
And in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo

Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehn
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn, 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.
