(vocals: Marion Hutton)

 

There they were, there they were, he was baby-talkin' her

And the cuckoo in the clock went "Cuckoo!"

Every fifteen minutes he crew, "Cuckoo, cuckoo!"



"Be a pal, be a pal", said the fella to the gal

And the cuckoo in the clock went, "Cuckoo!

I believe they're startin' to woo, woo-woo, woo-woo!"



They didn't know that everything they said was overheard

They didn't hear that little birdie givin' them the bird



So he said with a sigh "Who's your little peachy-pie?"

And the cuckoo in the clock went, "Cuckoo!

Though I'm just a little cuckoo,

I'm not as cuckoo as you!"

So he closed the door and withdrew,

"Cuckoo, cuckoo"



So he said with a sigh "Who's your little peachy-pie?"

And the cuckoo in the clock went, "Cuckoo!

Though I'm just a little cuckoo,

I'm not as cuckoo as you!"

So he closed the door and withdrew,

"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo"
