So Long, Farewell

(album: Hitler Bad, Vandals Good - 1998)

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 cuckoo

Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodnight to you

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

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

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye, goodbye

I'm glad to go, I can not tell a lie
I flit, I float, I fleety flee, I fly

The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye
Good bye
Good bye
Good bye
