=== Jim Horan Lyrics === | |||
<pre> | |||
There will be people going cuckoo for my cuckoos | |||
Shoppers will be flocking to my shop | |||
Just a strain of that refrain | |||
will increase our fiscal gain | |||
They'll be lining up around the block | |||
Courtesy of nimble little fingers | |||
Little urchins working 'round the clock | |||
They were worthless as can be | |||
Now they're happy, can't you see? | |||
As they help me to increase my stock | |||
What a fancy clock, they'll say | |||
Any price I set, they'll pay | |||
With a tune their hearts desire | |||
It's a Fluglemeyer | |||
What a wonderful song, they'll say | |||
as it takes their breath away | |||
with a melody to entice | |||
They'll pay any price | |||
We'll export them out to England, France, and China | |||
They'll adore them in the northern ports of Spain | |||
Yes, it's bonafide sensation | |||
as they enter every nation | |||
We'll be riding on the gravy train | |||
We'll be mopping up the money in the morning | |||
We'll be rolling in our riches afternoon | |||
In the evening we'll dine on the finest food and wine | |||
and we'll eat it with a silver spoon | |||
What a fancy spoon, they'll say | |||
Can I take your coat? You may | |||
He's a cuckoo clock supplier | |||
Mr. Fluglemeyer | |||
And we're sorry but no COD | |||
but we offer our full warranty | |||
But the warranty has expired | |||
You've been Fluglemeyer'd (Hah!) | |||
What a fancy clock, they'll shout | |||
as they pull their purses out | |||
Everyone will go berserk | |||
Now get these urchins back to work | |||
