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
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sightSo long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieuSo long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
I’d like to stay and taste my first champagneSo long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye — Goodbye!I’m glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I flyThe sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbyeGoodbye!
I’ll miss you, but not the litter box.

I can’t believe you even know this song.

Most of my family loves musicals so I was subjected to all of the “classics” when I was a kid.
