Tico Tico by Zequinha Abreu/arranged by James Kazik

Music for Strings - Grade 3-4
The Brazilian classic was popular in the United States during the 1940s with artists such as Ethel Smith, the Andrews Sisters and Carmen Miranda. More recently, it was performed at the closing ceremonies of the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. James Kazik's masteful arrangement for string orchestra (with optional piano and percussion) captures all the fun and energy of the original in a format that will be easily performable by your students and the audience dancing in the aisles!

I literally have this song in my orchestra too bro

[RockStarOscarStern]

Oh, tico tico, tick!
Oh, tico tico, tock!
This tico tico, he's the cuckoo in my clock
And when he says "cuckoo, "
He means it's time to woo
It's tico time for all the lovers on the block

I've got a heavy date
A tete a tete at eight
So speak, oh, tico, tell me if it's getting late?
If I'm on time, cuckoo
But, if I'm late, woo-woo!
The one my heart is gone to may not want to wait!

For just a birdie, and a birdie who goes nowhere
He knows of every lover's lane and how to go there;
For in affairs of the heart
My tico's terribly smart
He tells me: "gently, sentimentally at the start!"

Oh, oh, I hear my little tico tico calling
Because the time is right and shades of night are falling
I love that not-so-cuckoo cuckoo in the clock
Tico tico tico tico tico tock!
