Capo 1st fret
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

I put that birdie away, his cuckoo was gone to stay. We both apologized so I,
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.
I took that clock apart, I broke the cuckoo's heart. He'll never bother us again,
we just forgot about him.
