Crickets Lyrics by Peter Cowap

Before During After - The Story Of 10cc

1970

[Verse 1]
When a tropical storm passes
When the jungle's steamin'
In the elephant grass growin'
All of life is dreaming
In a tropical calm
When the rain stop fallin'
There's a tropical sound
You can hear the crickets callin' (Callin')

[Chorus]
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket

[Verse 2]
On a tropical day
When the population's sleepin'
In the tropical heat
And those crickets come out creepin'
On a tropical night
When the fireflies are flyin'
It's a beautiful sight
Hear those cucurachas cryin' (Cryin')

[Chorus]
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket

[Post-Chorus]
They're sayin' I love you ever
By rubbing their legs together
Ask 'em what they're sayin'
Ask 'em what they're playin'
Crickets, oh
Never worry
All they say is
Just a word that means everything (Ha!)

[Verse 3]
There's a tropical style
Where melt in music
On a tropical shore
Where the life is bright and easy (Easy)

[Chorus]
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket

[Post-Chorus]
They're sayin' I love you ever
By rubbing their legs together
Ask 'em what they're sayin'
Ask 'em what they're playin'
Crickets, oh
Never worry
All they say is
Just a word that means everything (Ha!)

[Verse 4]
It's a tropical scene
Where the sunlit sea is bringin'
Happiness and a smile
And so everybody's singin', singin'
Everybody

[Chorus]
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket
Cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke-cricke
Cricket

[Outro]
Na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na
Na na, na na na, alright
La la la la da, la la
La la la la da
La la la la da, la la
La la la la da, ooh
La da da da da, da
La da da da da
La da da da da, la da
La da da da da
