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
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:
Cuckoo!
. . . to you.
Bridge
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
Marta:
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
Marta skips upstairs to playful music
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Friedrich:
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu
Friedrich skips upstairs to playful music
Children:
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
Liesl:
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Liesl to the Captain:
Yes?
The Captain:
No.
Liesl pouts and goes upstairs
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Kurt:
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!
Kurt goes upstairs
Brigitta:
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
Brigitta goes upstairs
Louisa:
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
Louisa goes upstairs
Gretl Tired and singing slowly as she backs up the stairs on her little rump:
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
Gretl falls asleep on the stairs, Liesl comes down to collect her
Children:
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Children wave to guests
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Guests Waving back:
Goodbye!
