Lyrics

Chorus
Say au revoir, but not goodbye
This goat was wise, and too smart to die
He struggled and tugged with might and main
Coughed up a red shirt and flagged the train

Chorus
Say au revoir, but not goodbye
This goat was wise, though he could not fly
He gave one cry, it was a beaut
Coughed up the umbrella, made a parachute

Chorus
Say au revoir, this time goodbye
His time was up, he was doomed to die
The gripman yelled, and rang the bell
Car hit the poor goat, not he’s in —-
