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
I got a date at eight
Huh...to celebrate with my friend
Tico tico tico tico tico tock
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
Tico tico tico tico tico tock
