[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 nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

[Marta & Gretl & Brigitta]
Cuckoo, cuckoo

[Children]
Regretfully they tell us
(cuckoo, cuckoo)
But firmly they compel us
(cuckoo, cuckoo)
To say goodbye

[Marta & Gretl & Brigitta]
Cuckoo

[Children]
To you

[Children]
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen
Good night

[Marta]
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

[Children]
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen
Adieu

[Friedrich]
Adieu, adieu
To yieu and yieu and yieu

[Children]
So long, farewell
Au revoir
Auf wiedersehen

[Liesl]
I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne

[Children]
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen
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

[Gretl]
The sun has gone to bed and so must I

[Children]
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Guests]
Goodbye
