Song Of The Coo Coo Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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
