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 in the block.

I've got a heavy date, a tete a tete at eight,

So speak, oh Tico, tell me is it getting late?

If I'm on time, "Cuckoo"

But if I'm late, "Woowoo!"

The one my heart has gone to may not want to wait!

For just a birdie, and a birdie who goes nowhere,

He knows of ev'ry lovers lane and how to go there;

For in affairs of the heart, my Tico's terribly smart,

He tells me" Gently, sentiment'ly from the start."

Oh oh, I hear my little Tico Tico calling,

Because the time is right

And shades of night are falling.

I love that not-so-cuckoo cuckoo in the clock;

Tico Tico, Tico Tico Tico tock.

滴嗒！滴嗒！

這滴嗒聲是我時鐘的布穀鳥。

當他說"Cuckoo"，

就是追求的時機，

是戀愛的時刻到。

我有個重要的約會，相約於8點，

那麼，鐘請告訴我，我是不是晚了？

若我準時，請說 "Cuckoo"，

但若我遲了，請說 "Woowoo!"

我心所嚮往的那人也許不願等候。

雖然只是一隻小鳥，哪兒也不去的小鳥，

他知悉所有愛人的道路，並知如何前往；

就心事而言，我的滴嗒太過聰慧，

他告訴我，"從一開始便要款款深情"。

啊，我聽到我的滴嗒在叫喚，

因為時候已到，

夜幕已降臨。

我愛時鐘不那麼滴溚的滴嗒聲，

滴嗒滴嗒、滴嗒滴嗒。
