​of Montreal - Nickee Coco and the Invisible Tree lyrics

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 no
I hav hav haven't heard a thi-thing
But the second that I do
I'll gi-gi-give a ring
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 done
To 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 happy
Because at last we found you
We found you we love you
