And so the search went on	F# C#
Everybody was still looking for Nickee Coco	A#dim G#/E# G#
They asked the stuttering organ grinder in the square	Cdim D#dim B
Who said "No no no no	Gdim
I hav-hav-haven't heard a thi-thing	G#m
But the second that I-I-I d-d-do I'll gi-gi-give a ring	Ddim F#
Oh-oh-oh the poor poor poor little thing"	Gdim F#

All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep	B D# E
Very peaceful in her invisible tree	F# B
Eating mangos in a dream	Bdim C#m

All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep	B D# E
No longer peaceful in her invisible tree	F# B
Being chased by antelopes in a dream	Bdim C#m

And so the search went on	F# C#
They're wondering if they'll ever find Nickee Coco	A#dim G#/E# G#

"Margaret tell me what on earth I've done	Gdim G#m
To deserve losing my sweet beloved one?	Ddim F#
What could I have possibly done?"	Gdim F#
