The So Long Song (The Farewell Song in the UK version) is a song from Blue's Clues that is sung at the end of every episode from seasons 1-5. In season 6, it was replaced by the Goodbye Song.
Characters Singing
Lyrics
Now it's time for so long,
But we'll sing just one more song!
Thanks for doing your part!
You sure are smart!
You know, with me and you and my dog Blue
We can do anything that we wanna do!
In season 1, After Steve sings "And my dog Blue", the viewers also say the last line and repeat it twice (though only half of it was said the last time: "We can do anything!"). Steve only sings the line the first time.
When Joe made his first appearance, the lyrics "And my dog Blue" were changed to "And our friend Blue". Also, starting in "Can You Help?", Joe sung the last line twice.
What Does Blue Want to Make?
Steve: Now it's time for so long.
Sock Puppet: So long? I just got here.
Steve: But we'll sing just one more song.
Sock Puppet: La la la la la!
Steve: Thanks for doing you part.
Sock Puppet: You sure are smart.
Steve: You know, with me and you and my dog Blue.
Steve and the viewers: We can do...
Sock Puppet and the viewers: ...anything...
Steve and the viewers: ...that we wanna do!
- since this is a season 2 episode, the viewers keep repeating the last 3 lines until the Credits.
What Story Does Blue Want to Play?
Steve (in an Elvis Presley voice): And now it's time for so long.
But we'll sing just one more song.
Well thanks for doing your part.
Chorus: Doo-wah!
Steve: You sure are smart!
You know, with me and you, and hound dog Blue.
We can do anything, that we wanna do!
Thank you, thank you very much!

Trivia
- The ending lyrics are the same as the lyrics at the end of the Blue's Clues Theme Song.
- In "What Was Blue's Dream About?", the viewers only sang "We can do anything that we wanna do" the 1st time.
- In "What's That Sound?", Steve mainly said his lines instead of singing and there was no music other than the background sounds.
- in "Blue's Big Band", everyone played their instruments instead of the song's usual music playing.
- This song is always sung by Steve and Joe.
- In What Time is it for Blue? and Blue's Big Pajama Party, Steve sings this song quietly instead of the normally and loudly because he gets tired and is always yawning during the song, it was also Blue's nap time so he needed to sing it quietly and it was bedtime in Blue's Big Pajama Party.
- After Steve or Joe sing this song, the episodes always end with the screen zooming out the door of the house and Blue waving goodbye to the viewer from the window before the end credits appear.
