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!!!
