 I shall have my just desert
 Now get these orphans back to work

+=== 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
