Tico Tico

Tico Tico - Xavier Cugat

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'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

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 sentimently at the start

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

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'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

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 sentimently at the start

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
