Tico Tico

Oh, tico tico, tick! Oh, tico tico, tock! This tico tico, he's the cuckoo in my clock And when he says "cuckoo," He means it's time to woo It's tico time for all the lovers on the block I've got a heavy date A tete a tete at eight So speak, oh, tico, tell me if it's getting late? If I'm on time, cuckoo But, if I'm late, woo-woo! The one my heart is gone to may not want to wait! For just a birdie, and a birdie who goes nowhere He knows of every lover's lane and how to go there; For in affairs of the heart My tico's terribly smart He tells me: "gently, sentimentally at the start!" Oh, oh, I hear my little tico tico calling Because the time is right and shades of night are falling I love that not-so-cuckoo cuckoo in the clock Tico tico tico tico tico tock!
