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 tete a tete at eight
So speak, Oh Tico, tell me if it's getting late?
If I'm on time, cuckoo
But if I'm late I, 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, 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!!!
