So long, farewell....

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

Regretfully they tell us 
But firmly they compel us
to say good bye to you

So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight...
