Lyrics

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too,
And up in the nurs'ry an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "Coo-coo."

Regretfully they tell us,
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye
To you.

Farewell,
Auf wiedersehn, goodnight,

Farewell,
Auf widersehn, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yeiu.

Farewell,
Au'voir, auf wiedershen,
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne.
No?

Farewell,
Auf wiedershen, 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 wiedersehn, goodbye,
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
