Choral version
Our version of this song will be different, but this gives you an idea of what the melody sounds like.
Carol of the Bells
Hark! how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
“Throw cares away”
Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Meek and the bold,
Ding, dong, ding, dong,
That is their song
With joyful ring,
All caroling.
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer,
From everywhere,
Filling the air.
O, how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Sweetly they ring,
While people sing
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send ,
On without end,
Their joyful tone to every home
So Long, Farewell - This song is sung by all classes
There’s a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too,
And up in the nurs-ry and absurd little bird
Is popping out to say “coo-coo.”
Cuckcoo, cuckoo
Cuckcoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, to you
Regretfully they tell us,
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you.
So long, farewell,
Auf wiedersehn, goodnight,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell,
Auf wiedersehn, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.
So long, farewell, Au’voir,
Auf wiedersehn,
I’d like to stay and finish out the day.
So long, farewell,
Auf viedersehn, 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 fly.
The sun has gone to bed and so much I.
So long, farewell,
Auf wiedersehn, goodbye;
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye!
