So Long, Farewell - 1959 - The Sound of Music

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 Nov 2001

[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 nurs'ry
an absurd little bird
is popping out to say 'coocoo.'

[Brigitta, Gretl, Marta] Regrettably
they tell us,
but firmly they compel us
to say goodbye to you.

[All Children] So long, farewell,
Auf Wiedersehn, goodnight,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

[Children] So long, farewell,
Auf Wiedersehn, adieu,
adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.

[Children] So long, farewell,
Au'voir, Auf Wiedersehn,
[Liesl] I'd like to stay
and taste my first champagne.

[Children] So long, farewell,
Auf Wiedersehn, goodbye,
[Friedrich] 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
[All Children] So long, farewell,
Auf Wiedersehn, goodbye, Goodbye;
Goodbye, Goodbye,
[Guests] Goodbye!
