The cuck‑coo clock
Language: English
On the wall hangs a brown wooden clock, Saying tick! tock! tick! tock! 'Twas carv'd from a tree in fair Germanie, Tick! tock! tick! tock! In its heart lives a pretty bird blue, Cuck-coo! Tho' made of pine wood, Its almost as good As a wonderful, real and true Cuck-coo! See a little red door at the top, flip flop! Out flies the bird blue to sing just for you, Cuck-coo!
