about

Traditional, adapted by Red Yarn

lyrics

Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never hollers “Cuckoo!”
Till the fourth day of July

And I see, and I see
On the fourth day of July

Oh, the cuckoo is an outlaw
She steals from the rest
She’ll rob that poor robin
Of the eggs in her nest

And I see, oh I see
On the fourth day of July

Gonna build me a little bird nest
Up in the oak tree so high
So I can spy that cuckoo
Each time she comes by

And I see, oh I see
On the fourth day of July

Oh, the cuckoo is a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She shoots like a firework
On the fourth of July

And I see, oh I see
On the fourth day of July
