Song | Nickee Coco and the Invisible Tree |
Artist | Of Montreal |
Album | The Gay Parade |
Nickee Coco woke up early one | |
Tuesday morning and decided to go for a walk in the tomato field behind her house. | |
As she was walking along she saw a magnificently tall invisible tree and decided to climb up on it. | |
She found the foliage covered branches so comfortable that she fell fast asleep. | |
She was still asleep when nightfall came and her mother became frantic with worry. | |
She ran from house to house asking everyone she saw if they had seen | |
Nickee or knew where she was. | |
Soon the whole town was aware of | |
Nickee's disappearance and they immediately started the search. | |
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 noI hav-hav-haven't heard a thi-thingBut the second that I-I-I d-d-do I'll gi-gi-give a ringOh-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 doneTo 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 happybecause at lastwe found youwe found youwe love you |
