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 poping out to say cuckoo
(Marta, Gretl, Brigitta)
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye
To you
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
(Marta )
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
(Friedrich)
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
(Liesl )
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?
Capitão
No!
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good bye
(Kurt)
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
(Todos)
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good bye
Good bye, good bye, good bye
Convidados
Goodbye
