[edit] The Words:

Chorus: VAJIRAVUDH, GOOD BYE,

'TIS TIME FOR ME TO GO,

MY IDEAL IS HIGH

FOR YOU TAUGHT ME TO BE SO.

LIFE IS BEFORE ME

WITH MANY THINGS TO DO:

WHAT WILL BE, WILL BE,

BUT I CANNOT FORGET YOU!'

Good bye to my teachers all. To the school good bye:

All your kindness I'll recall. Be I far or neigh.

Like a bird out of the nest. Tis time I should fly

And in life to do my best.

Good bye, good bye, good bye! [Chorus]

Good bye to my laziness, To my sports, good bye:

I must use my cleverness, I must my skill try.

'Tis high time to be a man. On myself rely,

I will do whate'er I can.

Good bye, good bye, good bye! [Chorus]

Good bye to this happy life. In the school, good bye:

In the world's unequal strife. I must win or die.

But when I am far away. I won't fret or cry:

I will follow the right way.

Good bye, good bye, good bye! [Chorus]

But before my last good bye, Sorrowful and brave,

If I have been rude or sly. Your pardon I crave.

All the good you've done to me. In my heart does lie;

Till my death your friend I'll be

Good bye, good bye, good bye!
