Cuckoo Clock

We knew it must have been late (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
We had no time to wait (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
I went to light the fireplace (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
I planned it all this way, and- (Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I snuggled close to her (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
Her heart began to purr (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
I held my breath and then, and then (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
I put my arms around her (Tick-tock)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo

I put that birdie away (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
His cuckoo was gone to stay (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
We both apologized for why (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
Forgave that doggone cuckoo

I went back to her side (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
I had to swallow my pride (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
The fire had almost died away (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
We just got situated (Tick-tock)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo

I took that clock apart (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
I broke the cuckoo's heart (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
He'll never bother us again (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
We just forgot about him (Tick-tock)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (Go away, silly bird)
