Explore "Songs for Parents: Cuckoo Clock" by John Chipman Farrar on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The cuckoo in the clock by day Is usually very gay; And that's because, with people near, There's not a thing for him to fear;
But when the sitting room is dim And no one's there to welcome him -- How tremblingly he must come out To flap his wings and look about.
Why! Only just the other night The cuckoo stopped the clock from fright!
