We knew it must have been late




We had no time to wait




I went to light the fireplace




I planned it all this way, and




I snuggled close to her




Her heart began to purr




I held my breath inside, and then




I put my arms around her




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




His cuckoo was gone to stay




We both apologized for why




Forgave that doggone cuckoo


I went back to her side




I had to swallow my pride




The fire had almost died away




We just got situated




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




I broke the cuckoo's heart




He'll never bother us again




We just forgot about him




Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)


Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)


Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)


Cuckoo, cuckoo
