Tico‐Tico Songtext
von The Andrews Sisters

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 in the block.
I"v 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!
I got a date at eight
Huh... to celebrate with my friend
Tico Tico Tock!
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 to me
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!
Tico Tico Tico Tico Tico Tock!
Tico Tock!
