Lyrics

The cuckoo is a pretty bird,
Nothing is prettier
Than a singing cuckoo,
It is my cuckoo, it is your cuckoo,
It is another's cuckoo!
Say, have you not heard the cuckoo singing?
Over there, at the bottom of the field,
There is a flowering, dark red tree,
And there the cuckoo sings.
It is my cuckoo, it is your cuckoo,
It is another's cuckoo!
Say, have you not heard the cuckoo singing?
And of course if all the cuckoos
Were to wear a bell,
Oh! they would sound like five hundred trumpets!
It is my cuckoo, it is your cuckoo,
It is another's cuckoo!
Say, have you not heard the cuckoo singing?
Written by: Joseph Canteloube, [traditional]
