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
