[Intro]
Check, check, check
One, two
[Verse 1]
Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell, crash
I'm the last splash
I know you, little libertine
I know you're a real cuckoo
[Chorus]
Want you, cuckoo cannonball
Want you, cuckoo cannonball

In the shade, in the shade
[Verse 2]
I know you, little libertine

Want you, cuckoo cannonball
[Verse 3]
Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell, crash

I'll be your whatever-you-want
The bong in this reggae song
[Chorus]
Want you, cuckoo cannonball
Want you, cuckoo cannonball
In the shade, in the shade
In the shade, in the shade

I don’t think anyone thought it would get played on the radio. I wasn’t thinking, ‘This is it! This is my ticket!’
