Lyrics
- If you’ve got an ear for music then just gather near
Tell me, can’t you hear it buzzin’ in your ear
Is it music? sure it’s music, it’s the best you’ll ever hear
It’s my ever lovin’ honey, calling baby dear
Say ain’t that music weired, strangest you ever heered?
Say, don’t you be a-skeered listen
Chorus
Oh, ev’ry evening hear him sing
It’s the cutest little thing
Got the cutest little swing
Hitchy Koo, Hitchy Koo, Hitchy Koo
Oh, simply meant for Kings and queens
Don’t you ask me what it means
I just love that Hitchy Koo
Hitchy Koo, Hitchy Koo
Say he does it just like no one could
When he does it, say, he does it good
Oh, ev’ry evening hear him sing
It’s the cutest little thing
Got the cutest little swing
Hitchy Koo, Hitchy Koo
- Oh, it acts just like a tonic to my love-sick heart
I cannot wait till evening till that thing will start
Do I love it? sure I love it, of my life it is a part
Like the voice of cupid sending me his little dart
Say, ain’t that music weired, strangest you ever heered?
Say, don’t you be a-skeered listen
