Eddy Arnold - Song Of The Coo Coo lyrics

rate me

Who will get a song of the coo coo who will get a bark of the dog

Who will see the stars who will point to Mars who will taste the smell of the fog

Who will pick the strings of the banjo who will feel the heat of the sun

Who will whisper words like I love you when this old world is gone

I've built me a house in the country beside it I plant me a vine

How long it grows God only knows will I be around to see it climb

But if I should marry my darling and my darling gives me a son

Will he get a song of the coo coo before this world is done

Who can answer these questions who knows the facts of the case

There is a man answers in his hand in your mirror you can see his face

This world is ours for the taking or this world will soon burn away

And in you and I and the coo coo we will have had our day
