so long, farewell

Ray Conniff

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
Regretfully they tell us cuckoo, cuckoo, but firmly they compel us cuckoo, cuckoo, to say goodbye to you
So long, farewell, ââ?¬Ë?auf Wiedersehenââ?¬â?¢, good night, we hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, ââ?¬Ë?auf Wiedersehenââ?¬â?¢, ââ?¬Ë?adieu, adieu, adieuââ?¬â?¢, to you and you and you
So long, farewell, ââ?¬Ë?au revoirââ?¬â?¢, ââ?¬Ë?auf Wiedersehenââ?¬â?¢, we'd like to stay and taste your good champagne
So long, farewell, ââ?¬Ë?auf Wiedersehenââ?¬â?¢, goodbye, weââ?¬â?¢ll leave and have a sigh and say goodbye, goodbye
Weââ?¬â?¢ve sung our song and now the recurrence, so long, farewell, ââ?¬Ë?auf Wiedersehenââ?¬â?¢, good friends
So long, farewell, the sopranos say goodbye, so long, farewell, the altos say goodbye
So long, farewell, the tenors say goodbye, so long, farewell, the basses say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
