The Cuckoo's Nest


There's a pombush in the garden
Where the lads and lassies meet,
'Cuz it wouldna' do to do the do
They're doin' in the street.

Oh, the first time that I went there
I was very much impressed,
To see the young folks rumplin'
Up the cuckoo's nest.

Chorus:
And it's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo,
High the cuckoo's nest.
High the cuckoo, low the cuckoo,
High the cuckoo's nest.
I'll give any man a shilling and a bottle of the best,
Who'll rumple up the feathers of the cuckoo's nest.

I met him in the mornin' and I had him in the night.
He'd never gone that way before and had to do it right.
He never would have found it, no he never would have guessed,
If I hadn't showed him where to find the cuckoo's nest.

(chorus)

I showed him where to find it and I showed him where to go;
Through the prickles and the brambles where the little cuckoo's grow.
From the moment that he found it I would never let him rest,
'Til he rumpled up the feathers of the cuckoo's nest.

(chorus)

It was thorny, it was prickled, it was feathered all around.
It was tucked into a corner where it wasn't easy found.
I said, "Young man, you're blundering!" and he said it wasn't true,
'Cuz he left me with the makings of a young cuckoo!

(chorus)

I'll give any man a shilling and a bottle of the best,
Who'll rumple up the feathers of the cuckoo's nest!
