Lyrics

And so the search began
Everybody was looking for Nickee Coco
They looked on rooftops and in trees in the park
Mr. Temboley even shouted down the well
«Nickee Coco if you are down there give a yell»
But he didn’t hear a yell
And so the search went on
Everybody was still looking for Nickee Coco
They asked the stuttering organ grinder in the square
Who said «No no no no
I hav-hav-haven't heard a thi-thing
But the second that I-I-I d-d-do I’ll gi-gi-give a ring
Oh-oh-oh the poor poor poor little thing»
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep
Very peaceful in her invisible tree
Eating mangos in a dream
And so the search went on
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep
No longer peaceful in her invisible tree
Being chased by antelopes in a dream
And so the search went on
They’re wondering if they’ll ever find Nickee Coco
Nickee’s mother asked Miss Colvendom in tears
«Margaret tell me what on earth I’ve done
To deserve losing my sweet beloved one?
What could I have possibly done?»
Many weeks passed and though some people were beginning to lose hope they all
kept searching and never did Nickee leave their thoughts. One day an owl
happened to fly past Nickee still sleeping soundly up in the invisible tree and
rushed back to tell the townspeople. After an owl translator was called in and
the owl’s wonderful message was understood the whole town joyously followed the
owl back to the invisible tree where little Nickee was still fast asleep.
They all cheered when they saw her and Nickee finally awoke as they lifted her
above their heads and marched victoriously back into town where they had a huge
party in honor of her return and sang this song…
We love you Nickee Coco
We were so sad when we thought we had lost you
Nickee Coco now we’re so happy
Because at last
We found you
We found you
We love you
