There's an odd 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, but firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you!


So Long, Farewell, from The Sound of Music (R&H)
