Song by the Children<br /><br>

[Children:]<br>

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall<br>

And the bells in the steeple too<br>

And up in the nursery an absurd little bird<br>

Is popping out to say "cuckoo"<br>

[Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:]<br>

Cuckoo, cuckoo<br>

<br>

[Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: ]<br>

Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo <br>

But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo <br>

To say goodbye . . . <br>

[Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:]<br>

Cuckoo!<br>

[Children:]<br>

. . . to you<br>

<br>

[Children:]<br>

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night<br>

[Marta:]<br>

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight<br>

<br>

[Children:]<br>

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu<br>

[Friedrich:]<br>

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu<br>

<br>

[Children:]<br>

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen<br>

[Liesl:]<br>

I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne<br>

<br>

[Children:]<br>

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye<br>

[Kurt:]<br>

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!<br>

[Brigitta:]<br>

I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie<br>

[Louisa:]<br>

I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly<br>

[Gretl:]<br>

The sun has gone to bed and so must I<br>

<br>

[Children:]<br>

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye<br>

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye<br>

<br>

[Guests:]<br>

Goodbye!<br>
