Lyrics So Long, Farewell (reprise) - Richard Rodgers , Oscar Hammerstein II
[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
"cuckoo"
[Marta,
Gretl,
Brigitta:]
Cuckoo,
cuckoo
[Children:
Marta,
Gretl,
Brigitta:
]
Regretfully
they
tell
us
Cuckoo,
cuckoo
But
firmly
they
compel
us
Cuckoo,
cuckoo
To
say
goodbye
.. .
[Marta,
Gretl,
Brigitta:]
Cuckoo!
[Children:]
... to
you
[Children:]
So
long,
farewell,
auf
Wiedersehen,
good
night
[Marta:]
I
hate
to
go
and
leave
this
pretty
sight
[Children:]
So
long,
farewell,
auf
Wiedersehen,
adieu
[Friedrich:]
Adieu,
adieu,
to
yieu
and
yieu
and
yieu
[Children:]
So
long,
farewell,
au
revoir,
auf
wiedersehen
[Liesl:]
I'd
like
to
stay
and
taste
my
first
champagne
[Children:]
So
long,
farewell,
auf
Wiedersehen,
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
[Gretl:]
The
sun
has
gone
to
bed
and
so
must
I
[Children:]
So
long,
farewell,
auf
Wiedersehen,
goodbye
Goodbye,
goodbye,
goodbye
[Guests:]
Goodbye!
