So Long, Farewell

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 cuckoo

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

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night

MARTA
I hate to go and leave this pretty site

CHILDREN
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu

FRIEDRICH
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

CHILDREN
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen

LIESL
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

CHILDREN
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

KURT
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye

BRIGITTE
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

LOUISA
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

GRETL
The sun has gone to bed and so must I

CHILDREN
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
