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 inside and then
(Tick-tock)
(Tick-tock)
I put my arms around her
(Tick-tock)

Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo

I put that birdie away
(Tick-tock)
(Tick-tock)
His cockoo was gone to stay
(Tick-tock)
(Tick-tock)

We both apologized for why
(Tick-tock)
(Tick-tock)
Forgave that dog gone cockoo

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)

Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo

I took that clock apart
(Tick-tock)
(Tick-tock)
I broke the cockoo's heart
(Tick-tock)
(Tick-tock)

He'll never bother us again
(Tick-tock)
(Tick-tock)
We just forgot about him
(Tick-tock)

Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)

Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
Cockoo, cockoo
(Go away silly bird)
