Bush to Give Farewell Speech Tonight

President Bush is set to speak tonight at 8 PM in his last address to the American Nation. Click on the link to go to Yahoo! News. I'll admit I won't miss our President one bit and right now I have the perfect song for our President to wish him farewell. Take it away Von Trapp Family Singers:

"So Long, Farewell" -from the Sound of Music:

Children: There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall And a bell in the steeple too And in the nursery an absurd little bird Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: Cuckoo, cuckoo

Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo To say goodbye . . .

Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: Cuckoo!

Children: . . . to you

Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn, good night

Marta: I hate to go and miss this pretty sight

Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn, adieu

Friedrich: Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

Children: So long, farewell, auf 'voir , auf wiedersehn

Liesl: I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn, goodbye

Kurt: I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!

Brigitta: I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

Louisa: I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

Gretl: The sun has gone to bed and so must I

Children: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Guests: Goodbye!
