[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
