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 tête-à-tête 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've got a date at eight
Oh, to celebrate with my friend 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 to me
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, tico, tok
Tico tok
