So Long, Farewell
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 "coo-coo"
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye
To you

ALL Children:
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight
Marta:
I hate to go
And leave this pretty sight

Children:
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Kurt:
Adieu, adieu,
To yieu and yieu and yieu

Children:
So long, farewell, au' voir, auf wiedersehen
Liesl:
I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne

Children:
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, 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 wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye;
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye
Guests:
Goodbye!
