Am      F     Am            F     E7 
Oh Tico Tico tick!  Oh Tico Tico tock!  
      F     E7 Bm5-/7     E7    Fdim     Am 
This Tico Tico he's the cuckoo in my clock.  
    Am7      F       Dm7         F         Am     Am7+ 
And when he says: "Cuckoo!" he means it's time to woo;  
     Am7  E7      Bm5-/7    Cdim  Bm5-/7     E7 
It's Tico time for all the lovers  in the block. 
Am          F     Am            F        E7 
I've got a heavy date, a tete-a-tete at eight,  
     F        E7  Bm5-/7    E7    Fdim     Am 
So speak, oh Tico, tell me is it getting late?  
   Am7     F        Dm7      F       Am        Am+7 
If I'm on time, "Cuckoo" but if I'm late, "Woo-woo!"  
    Am7     E7      Bm5-/7     E7     Fdim     Am   G 
The one my heart has gone to may not want to wait!  
Bridge: 
    Fdim    C      C/B   Am7   Am7/G      F  
For just a birdie, and a birdie who goes nowhere,  
   Dm7      G     Cdim     G7     Cdim   C7/9+  C 
He knows of ev'ry Lovers' Lane and how to go  there;  
    G      C           C7M             Dm7       G7 
For in affairs of the heart, my Tico's terribly smart,  
   Cdim       G      Cdim     Dm7       G/B       C 
He tells me: "Gently, sentiment'ly    at    the start!"  
   Fdim    C      C/B    Am7  Am7/G  F 
Oh, oh, I hear my little Tico Tico  calling,  
   Dm7       G      Cdim       G7        Cdim    C7/9+    C 
Because the time is right and shades of night are falling.  
  C7        F      Dm     Dm7   Fdim      C 
I love that not-so-cuckoo cuckoo in the clock:  
G    Cdim  G7   G/B  Fdim  C 
Tico Tico  Tico Tico Tico tock.
