The Sound Of Music - Reprise: So Long, Farewell (The Concert) lyrics

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) Regretfully they tell us, what firmly they compel us, to say goodbye To you So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodnight! We'd hate to go and leave this pretty sight. So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu! Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you! So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye We flit, we float, we flitly flee, we fly
