Cuckoo

F#m C# F#m

[Verse 1]
              F#m          C#     
There will be people going cuckoo 
       F#m
for my cuckoos
F#m           C#             F#m
Feeble minds enamored by the clock
       F#m              C#        
Just a strain of that refrain, 
       D             A
it's like candy for the brain,
           D         C#         
They'll be lining up around the 
F#m
block


[Verse 2]
F#m         C#            F#m
Courtesy of nimble little fingers
          F#m            C#    
There's a folksy kind of antique 
           F#m
homemade touch
        F#m        C#         
But the really big advantage of 
  D                A
enslaving little children
        D                 C#       
Is that you don't have to pay them 
F#m
much


[Chorus 1]
             Bm            E
What a fancy clock they'll say
            A            D
Any price I set, they'll pay
                      Bm      C#
They've attuned their hearts' desire
       C#   C#  F#m   C#  F#m
It's a Flou gle mire


[Chorus 2]

                 Bm           E
What a wonderful song they'll cry
                 A             D
If you stand too close, you'll die
              Bm       C#
It's a melody pure and nice
            C#     F#m
They'll pay triple price


[Instrumental 1]
F#m F#m C# C# x8


[Verse 3]
        F#m              C#       
We'll export them out to England, 
            F#m
France, and China
        F#m               C#      
They'll adore them in the northern
          F#m
 ports of Spain
      F#m     C#                  
Every nation, adoration, freakin' 
D             A
worldwide domination
         D             C#    F#m
We'll be riding on the gravy train


[Verse 4]
         F#m           C#         
We'll be moping up the money in 
  F#m
the morning
         F#m            C#   
We'll be rolling in our riches 
       F#m
afternoon
          F#m        C#          
In the evening we'll dine on the 
D               A
finest meat and wine
          D             C#     F#m
And we'll eat it with a silver spoon


[Chorus 3]
             Bm             E
What a fancy spoon, they'll say
                 A           D
"Can I take your coat?" "You may"
              Bm       C#
He's a cuckoo clock supplier
    C#   C#  F#m
Mr. Flou gle mire


[Chorus 4]
                     Bm     E
And we're sorry, but no C.O.D.s
               A          D
But we offer a full warranty
                 Bm        C#
But the warranty already expired
            C#   C#  F#m   C#  F#m
You've been Flou gle mired     (HA)


[Instrumental 2]

             Bm             E
What a fancy clock, they'll shout
                     A          D
What a pretty little tune comes out
                Bm       C#
I shall have my just desserts
               C#      C#      
"Now get these orphans back to 
F#m    C#  F#m
work"
