Lyrics So Long, Farewell - Andrea Bowen feat. Ryan Hopkins, Sara Zelle, Matthew Ballinger, Tracy Alison Walsh, Natalie Hall, Ashley Rose Orr & Michael Siberry

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
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye

Cuckoo!

To you!
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night

I hate to go and miss this pretty sight

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen

I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

No?

No

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, 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, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
