[Verse 1]

There will be people going cuckoo for my cuckoos

Feeble minds enamored by the clock

Just a strain of that refrain, it's like candy for the brain

They'll be lining up around the block


[Verse 2]

Courtesy of nimble little fingers

There's a folksy kind of antique, homemade touch

But the really big advantage of enslaving little children is that you don't have to pay them much


[Chorus]

"What a fancy clock," they'll say

Any price I set, they'll pay

With a tune their hearts desire

It's a Flouglemire

"What a wonderful song," they'll cry

If you stand too close, you'll die

It's a melody pure and nice

They'll pay triple price!


[Verse 3]

We'll export them out to England, France, and China

They'll adore them in the northern ports of Spain

Every nation, adoration, freakin' worldwide domination

We'll be riding on the gravy train


[Verse 4]

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 meat and wine

And we'll eat it with a silver spoon


[Chorus]

"What a fancy spoon," they'll say

"Can I take your coat?" You may

"He's a cuckoo clock supplier, Mr. Flouglemire"


[Bridge]

And we're sorry but no COD

But we offer a full warranty

But the warranty already expired

You've been Flouglemired (Ha!)


[Chorus]

"What a fancy clock," they'll shout

"What a pretty little tune comes out"

I shall have my just desserts

Now get these orphans back to work!
