Lyrics So Long. Farewell - Children , Denis Quilley , Liz Robertson

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, cuckoo

Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye

To you
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight

We 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, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

We flit, we float, we fleetly flee, we fly

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

The sun has gone to bed and so must I
Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
