Lyrics for Cuckoo Clock
We knew it must have been late (Tick-tock, tick-tock) We had no time to wait (Tick-tock, tick-tock) I went to light the fireplace (Tick-tock, tick-tock) I planned it all this way, and- (Tick-tock, tick-tock) I snuggled close to her (Tick-tock, tick-tock) Her heart began to purr (Tick-tock, tick-tock) I held my breath and then, and then (Tick-tock, tick-tock) I put my arms around her (Tick-tock) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo I put that birdie away (Tick-tock, tick-tock) His cuckoo was gone to stay (Tick-tock, tick-tock) We both apologized for why (Tick-tock, tick-tock) Forgave that doggone cuckoo I went back to her side (Tick-tock, tick-tock) I had to swallow my pride (Tick-tock, tick-tock) The fire had almost died away (Tick-tock, tick-tock) We just got situated (Tick-tock) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo I took that clock apart (Tick-tock, tick-tock) I broke the cuckoo's heart (Tick-tock, tick-tock) He'll never bother us again (Tick-tock, tick-tock) We just forgot about him (Tick-tock) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird) Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
