So Long, Farewell

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"

Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:

Cuckoo, cuckoo

Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:

Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo

But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo

To say goodbye . . .

Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:

Cuckoo!

Children:

. . . to you

Children:

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night

Marta:

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

Children:

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Friedrich:

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

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!

Brigitta:

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

Louisa:

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!
