Cuckoo in the Clock - Lena Horne

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, cuckoo!»

«Be a pal, be a pal»

Said the fella to his gal

And the cuckoo in the clock went «Cuckoo!

I believe they’re startin' to woo

Woo-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!»

Then he closed the door and withdrew

«Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!»

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!»

Then he closed the door and withdrew

«Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!

«Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!

Oh yeah!»
