So Long, Farewell (Festival reprise)

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 coo-coo (Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo)

Regretfully they tell us (Cuckoo, cuckoo)
But firmly they compel us (Cuckoo, cuckoo)
To say goodbye
To you

So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight
We hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell

Auf wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To yieu and yieu and yieu

So long, farewell
Auf weidersehen, goodbye
We flit, we float
We fleety flee, we fly

So long, farewell
Auf weidersehen, goodbye
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
Goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
