Lyrics Cukoo in the Clok - Lena Horne

Cukoo in the Clok

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!»
