There's a corner in the meadow where the lads and lasses meet
For they do here what they couldn't do upon the open street
They play all kinds of games there, but the one I like the best
Is when everybody rumples up the cuckoo's nest
Its high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoos nest
Its high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoos nest
I'll give any maid a shilling and a bottle of the best
Just to rumple up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest
I wooed her in the morning, and I had her in the night
She was my very first one, so I tried to do it right
I searched around and wandered, and I never would have guessed
If she hadn't showed me, where to find, her cuckoo's nest
Oh it's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
It's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
I'll give any maid a shilling and a bottle of the best
Just to rumple up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest
When she showed me where to find it, I knew just where to go
Through the underbrush and brambles where the little cuckoos grow
From the moment that I found it, she would never let me rest
From rumpling up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest
Oh it's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
It's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
I'll give any maid a shilling and a bottle of the best
Just to rumple up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest
It was bushy, it was prickled, it was feathered all around
It was tucked away so neatly and it wasn't easy found
She said young man you're blundering, but I knew it wasn't true
For I left her with the makings of a young cuckoo
Oh it's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
It's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
I'll give any maid a shilling and a bottle of the best
Just to rumple up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest
Oh it's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
It's high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest
I'll give any maid a shilling and a bottle of the best
Just to rumple up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest
