Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Let's Waltz to the melody 
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! As simple as it can be 
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! We'll dance to the break of day 
Cuckoo! Look Who Has stolen my heart away 

Sweet is the song that I heard 
>From that quaint little bird 
Who repeated one word, he was cuckoo and I 
Am as cuckoo as he and it's simple to see 
That the reason is you (Cuckoo, it's you Cuckoo) 

Now let me whisper I love you 
Vow by the starlight above you 
How can I say that I love you 
Just with this one little word 
(Cuckoo, it's you Cuckoo) 

Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Let's Waltz to the melody 
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! As simple as it can be 
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! We'll dance to the break of day 
Cuckoo! Look Who Has stolen my heart away 
(Cuckoo, it's you, Cuckoo, it's you!)
