Eddy Arnold - Song Of The Coo Coo lyrics

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...
