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
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)
Regretfully they tell us (coo-coo)
But firmly they compel us (coo-coo)
To say good bye (coo-coo) 
To you...
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight
[Marta]
I hate to go 
And leave this pretty sight
[remaining children]
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, adieu
[Fredrick]
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you
[remaining children]
So long, farewell
Au revoir, auf weidersehen
[Leisel]
I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne
[remaining children]
So long, farewell
Auf weidersehen, goodbye
[Kurt]
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
[Gretel]
The sun, has gone
To bed and so must I
[all children]
So long, farewell
Auf weidersehen, goodbye
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
[Guests]
Goodbye
