Oranga School Choir: So long, Farewell

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 "cuckoo"

[Cuckoo, cuckoo]

Regretfully they tell us [Cuckoo, cuckoo]

But firmly they compel us [Cuckoo, cuckoo]

To say goodbye . . .

[Cuckoo!]

. . . to you

[Choir]

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night

[Maria]

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

[Choir]

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu

[Lilla, Lisa]

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

[Choir]

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen

[Kristy]

We hope that you’ll come back someday again

[Choir]

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

[Glennis]

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!

[Annabelle]

I'm sad you’re going, I cannot tell a lie

[Paea]

We know, you’ll grow your wings and then you’ll fly

[Sarah & Emily]

This is the end I’ll try hard not to cry

[Choir]

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
