so long farewell - The Sound of Music

There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too,
And up in the nurs'ry an absurd little bird
is popping out to say, "coo~coo"

Regretfully they tell us,
but firmly they compel us
To say good~bye
(coo~coo)
To you.
So long, farewell,
Auf weidersehn, good~night,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell,
Auf weidersehn, adieu,
Adieu, adieu to yieu and yieu and yieu.
So long, farewell,
Au' voir, auf wiedersehn,
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne.
So long, farewell,
Auf wiedersehn, good~bye,
I leave and heave a sigh and say good~bye, Good~bye.
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 wiedersehn, Good~bye,
Good~bye,
Good~bye,
Good~bye!
