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, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo

Regretfully they tell us

But firmly they compel us

To say goodbye to you

So long, farewell, auf

Wiedersehen, good night

I hate to go and leave this pretty side

So long, farewell, auf

Wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

So long, farewell, au revoir auf

Wiedersehen

I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

Yes?

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
