Tico Tico

The song Tico Tico could be a good idea for another collection project.
The previous projects are not yet finished... Should they be finished?


Lyrics
Tico Tico
(Portugese original by Aloysio de Oliveira)
English version by Ervin Drake

Oh, Tico Tico, tick! Oh, Tico Tico, tock!
This Tico Tico, he's the cuckoo in my clock.
And when he says "Cuckoo," he means it's time to woo,
It's Tico time for all the lovers on the block.

I've got a heavy date, a tete-a-tete at eight,
So speak, oh Tico, tell me if it's getting late?
If I'm on time, "Cuckoo", but, if I'm late, "Woo-woo"!
The one my heart has gone to may not want to wait!

Bridge:
For just a birdie, and a birdie who goes nowhere,
He knows of ev'ry Lover's Lane and how to go there;
For in affairs of the heart my Tico's terribly smart,
He tells me: "Gently, sen - ti - ment' - ly at the start!"

Oh, oh, I hear my little Tico Tico calling,
Because the time is right and shades of night are fall - ing.
I love that not-so-cuckoo cuckoo in the clock,
Tico Tico Tico Tico Tico tock!!!
