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"!
