Tom: F#m
F#m C# F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m C# F#m
There will be people going cuckoo for my cuckoos
F#m C# F#m
Feeble minds enamored by the clock
F#m C# D A
Just a strain of that refrain, it's like candy for the brain,
D C# F#m
They'll be lining up around the block
[Verse 2]
F#m C# F#m
Courtesy of nimble little fingers
F#m C# F#m
There's a folksy kind of antique homemade touch
F#m C# D A
But the really big advantage of enslaving little children
D C# F#m
Is that you don't have to pay them much
[Chorus 1]
Bm E
What a fancy clock they'll say
A D
Any price I set, they'll pay
Bm C#
They've attuned their hearts' desire
C# C# F#m C# F#m
It's a Flou gle mire
[Chorus 2]
Bm E
What a wonderful song they'll cry
A D
If you stand too close, you'll die
Bm C#
It's a melody pure and nice
C# F#m
They'll pay triple price
[Instrumental 1]
F#m F#m C# C# x8
[Verse 3]
F#m C# F#m
We'll export them out to England, France, and China
F#m C# F#m
They'll adore them in the northern ports of Spain
F#m C# D A
Every nation, adoration, freakin' worldwide domination
D C# F#m
We'll be riding on the gravy train
[Verse 4]
F#m C# F#m
We'll be moping up the money in the morning
F#m C# F#m
We'll be rolling in our riches afternoon
F#m C# D A
In the evening we'll dine on the finest meat and wine
D C# F#m
And we'll eat it with a silver spoon
[Chorus 3]
Bm E
What a fancy spoon, they'll say
A D
"Can I take your coat?" "You may"
Bm C#
He's a cuckoo clock supplier
C# C# F#m
Mr. Flou gle mire
[Chorus 4]
Bm E
And we're sorry, but no C.O.D.s
A D
But we offer a full warranty
Bm C#
But the warranty already expired
C# C# F#m C# F#m
You've been Flou gle mired (HA)
[Instrumental 2]
C# F#m C# F#m x2
[Outro]
Bm E
What a fancy clock, they'll shout
A D
What a pretty little tune comes out
Bm C#
I shall have my just desserts
C# C# F#m C# F#m
"Now get these orphans back to work"
