She’s Cuckoo
Wryneck laughter from gatherings of stony chit chat
As the sea swallows a golden-eye beneath it's black hat
A scarlet stealer it's a cardinal sin
Dabchick Dipper do a Thick-kneed Tern
Rough-legged Buzzard watch the Butcher Bird burn
Cuckoo, she's Cuckoo for you
Nightjar purring like a sewing machine
Sheer-water keeps this Kingfisher clean
I'm a Black Throated Diver in a cherry Tree Creeper
Wax your Wings now I'm a Turnstone leaper
Scratch your Whitethroat with a Razorbill
Red-back Shrikes 'neath a Yellowhammer drill
Cuckoo, she's Cuckoo for you
Oyster-catcher in the still of the night
Hooded Crow spirals like a Merlin Kite
Chiff-chaff chokes silent as a low Pintail
Storm-Cock screams into the teeth of a gale
Tie Bunting Knots around a Goatsucker
Hear it toy toy oh hear it chucker chucker
Cuckoo, she's Cuckoo for you
