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 in the block. I've got a heavy date, a tete-a-tete at eight, So speak, oh Tico, tell me is it getting late? Am+7 If I'm on time, "Cuckoo" but if I'm late, "Woo-woo!" The one my heart has gone to may not want to wait! Bridge: For just a birdie, and a birdie who goes nowhere, He knows of ev'ry Lovers' Lane and how to go there; For in affairs of the heart, my Tico's terribly smart, He tells me: "Gently, sentiment'ly 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.
