There's a sad sort of clanking
 From the clock in the hall
 And the bells in the steeple too.
 And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
 Is popping up to say cukoo!
 Cukoo! Cukoo!
 Regretfully they tell us

 But firmly they compel us
 To say goodbye to you.

 So long
 Farewell
 Aufwiedersehn
 Goodnight
 I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

 So long
 Farewell
 Aufwiedersehn
 Adeiu
 Adeiu Adeiu
 To yieu and yieu and yieu

 So long
 Farewell
 Au 'voire
 Aufwiedersehn
 I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

 So long
 Farewell
 Aufwiedersehn
 Goodbye
 I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye

 Goodbye!

 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
 Aufwiedersehn
 Goodbye--

 Goodbye...
 Goodbye...
 Goodbye...
 Goodbye
