6 -5* 6 -6 6 -7
Oh, Ti-co Ti-co, Tick
6 -5* 6 -6 6 7*
Oh, Ti-co Ti-co, Tock
6 -5* 6 -6 6
This Ti-co Ti-co,
-9 -8 7* 6 -5 5* 5
he’s the cuck-oo in my clock.
-7 7* 7 -6 -7 -9
And when he says “cuck-oo”,
8 -7 -6 6 -7 8
He means it’s time to woo,
8 -8 -7* -8 -4 -5*
It’s Ti-co time for all
-6* -7 8 -8 -7 7*
the lov-ers in the block.
6 -5* 6 -6 -6 -7
I’ve got a heav-y date,
6 -5* 6 -6 6 7*
A tete a tete at eight,
6 -5* 6 -6 6
So speak, Oh Ti-co,
-9 -8 7* 6 -5 5* 5
tell me is it get-ing late?
-7 7* 7 -6 -7 -9
If I’m on time, cuck-oo,
9 -7 -6 6 -7 8
But if I’m late, woo-woo!
8 -8 -7* -7 6 7* -8
The one my heart has gone to
10 -9 9 -8 -7
may not want to wait!
-8 -7 7* 7 5
For just a bird-ie,
6 7 5 6 7 7* -7 -6
and a bird-ie who goes no-where,
-8 -7 7* 7 -4 -5 -6 -4
He knows of ev-`ry lov-er’s lane
-5 -6 7 -7 6
and how to go there;
8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8
For in af-fairs of the heart
-7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6
My Ti-co’s ter-ri-bly smart,
-8 -8 -8 -8 7
He tells me: “Gent-ly,
7 -8 -7 -6 -6 -7 7
sen-ti-ment-‘ly at the start!”
-8 -7 7* 7 5 6 7
Oh, Oh, I hear my lit-tle
5 6 7 7* -7 -6
Ti-co Ti-co call-ing
-8 -7 7* 7 -4 -5
Be-cause the time is right
-6 -4 -5 -6 7 -7 6
and shades of night are fall-ing.
8 -8 -7* -7 7* -7 -8
I love that not-so-cuck-oo
-9 8 -8 9 10
Cuck-oo in the clock,
-1010 -9 9 -8 -7 7 -6 6 -5 5
Ti-co Ti-co Ti-co Ti-co Ti-co Tock!!!
