Rodgers And Hammerstein - So Long, Farewell lyrics

[All 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 coo-coo (Coo-coo, coo-coo) Regretfully they tell us (coo-coo) But firmly they compel us (coo-coo) To say good bye (coo-coo) To you... So long, farewell Auf wiedersehen, goodnight [Marta] I hate to go And leave this pretty sight [remaining children] So long, farewell Auf wiedersehen, adieu [Fredrick] Adieu, adieu To you and you and you [remaining children] So long, farewell Au revoir, auf weidersehen [Leisel] I'd like to stay And taste my first champagne [remaining children] So long, farewell Auf weidersehen, 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 [Gretel] The sun, has gone To bed and so must I [all children] So long, farewell Auf weidersehen, goodbye Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye... [Guests] Goodbye
