The So Long Song (The Farewell Song in the UK version) is a song from Blue's Clues and Blue's Clues & You that is sung at the end of every episode from seasons 1-5. In season 6, it was replaced by The Goodbye Song, that Joe sings during the final season of Blue's Clues.
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!
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 with a few exceptions, such as in "Blue's Big Band".
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!
Note: Since this episode is a season 1 episode, the viewers keep repeating the last 3 lines until the Credits.
Steve: Now it's time for so long.
Paper Plate Steve: But we'll sing just one more song.
Thanks for doing you part
You sure are smart
You know...
Paper Plate Steve and Puppet: ...with me and you
Blue and Puppet: (and our friend Blue.)
Paper Plate Steve: We can do...
Steve: ...anything that we wanna do.
Now it's time for so long
So we'll sing this goodnight song
Thanks for coming tonight
You sure are bright.
You know with me and you and my dog Blue
We can do anything
(Yawning) That we wanna do.
Now it's time for so long
But we're gonna sing one more song
Thanks for doing your part
You sure are smart
You sure worked hard
When you use your mind
And take a step at a time
You can do anything that you wanna do
Joe and Josh: Now it’s time for so long, but we’re gonna sing one more song, thanks for doing you’re part, you’re sure are smart, you sure worked hard, when you use you’re mind and take a step at a time
In "What's That Sound?", Steve mainly said his lines instead of singing and there was no music, just a bunch of sounds heard from presumably right from the couch used in the last scene of the episode and during the credits.
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 (and later Josh).
In What Time is it for Blue? and Blue's Big Pajama Party, Steve. sings this song quietly instead of 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, it would later happen with Joe in the episode Bedtime Business because he always gets tired and always yawns during the song.
After Steve or Joe sing this song, the episodes almost 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.
