[D] When I was a five-year-old, I saw a [G] five-year girl a-[A]walkin'
And [A] in my heart a little bell was tolled, and a little voice said
[D] Kookenhaken, Kookenhaken.

[D] Now, you don't know what that word means, nor [G] I the man now [A] talkin'
But when my heart had found a queen, a little voice did say
[D] Kookenhaken, Kookenhaken.

So long forgotten was that word, so [G] long that lock un[A]lockin'
But [G] once again that little [A] word was heard, 'cause of [D] my little Kookenhaken.
Kookenhaken, Well, do you like that sound, do you?
Kookenhaken, I don't know what it means either.
Kookenhaken, My heart has found a queen, [A] my little Kooken[D]haken, well...
Kookenhaken, the word from years ago.
Kookenhaken, I've heard it now again.
Kookenhaken, my heart has found a friend in
[A] My little Kooken[D]haken, well

[G] My little Kookenhaken,
[D] You know, you got my heart talkin',
[E] Kookenhaken, Kookenhaken in my heart, and [A] I love you, little Kookenhak.

And [F] I've been walking long a year, and [Bb] dear I'm tired of [C] talkin',
So [F] come on, honey, and [Bb] listen here, and [C] be my little Kooken[F]haken.
And I've been walkin' hill and dale, through [Bb] vale and valley [C] walkin',
So [F] come on, honey, and [Bb] read your mail and [C] be my little Kooken[F]haken.
Kookenhaken, do you like that sound?
Kookenhaken, I don't know what it means.
Kookenhaken, my heart was found a queen,
[C] My little Kooken[F]haken.
Kookenhaken, a word from years ago.
Kookenhaken, I've heard it now again.
Kookenhaken, my heart has found a friend
[C] My little Kooken[F]haken, well

[Bb] My little Kookenhaken,
[F] You know, well you got my heart talkin',
[G] Kookenhaken, kookenhaken in my heart, and [C] I love you, little Kookenhaken.

And [G#] I've been walking long a year, and [C#] dear I'm tired of [D#] talkin',
