Richard Rodgers So Long Farewell 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 nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say cook-coo cook-coo, cook-coo
Regretfully they tell us cook-coo
But firmly they compel us cook-coo
To say goodbye cook-coo...
To you...

So long farewell, auf wiedersehen good-bye
Marta
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long farewell, auf wiedersehen adieu
Freidrich
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

So long farewell, au revoir auf wiedersehen Liesl
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?
Captain
No

So long farewell, auf wiedersehen goodnight
Kurt
I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye - goodbyyyyyyeeeee!

Brigitta
I'm glad... to go.... I cannot tell a lie
Louisa
I fleet, I float, I fleetly flee I fly...

Gretl
The sun... has gone... to bed and so must I...

So long...farewell...auf wiedersehen goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye....
Goodbye....
Guests
Goodbye...
