So Long, Farewell
(All) Theres 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
(Kids) Cuckoo, Cuckoo
(Captain and Maria) Regretfully they tell us,
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye
To you!
(All) So long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight,
(Kurt and Brigitta) We hate to go and miss this pretty sight,
(Rest) So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, adieu,
(Friedrich and Liesl) Adieu, adieu, to you, and you, and you!
(Rest) So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye,
(Brigitta and Louisa) We flit, we float, we fleetly fleet, we fly!
(Rest) So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye,
(Gretl) The Sun has gone to bed and so must I, goodbye!
(Maria) Goodbye (Captain) Goodbye (Both) Goodbye
