As a youth I hunted Cuckoo's Nests
In a corner of the field
I rumpled up so many
That my game was soon revealed
My parents said "Now that's enough"
And shipped me off to school
So I began my studies
Thinking life can be so cruel
They said to pick a subject
That would hold my interest
But all that I could think of
Were those lonely Cuckoo's Nests
So I thought long and hard
Of something that would interest me
And finally decided I would study history
A Cuckoo's Nest, the very best
Is neither high nor low!
I studied nesting all my lifе
And this is what I know
It takes a ton of shillings
Lots of cases of the bеst
To learn the in's and out's
Of the Cuckoo's Nest!
In days of old, or so I'm told
The nests were huge and wild
With feathers going every way
And never were they styled!
I don't mind the natural look
It's how some nests are made
But trimming nests short
And small's more popular today
I studied nests from Dawn of Man
Right up to Modern Day
Though I grew bored
I became an expert so they say
History was fine I guess
But nothing I'd applaud
So I decided on my break
That I'd study a-broad!
A Cuckoo's Nest, the very best
Is neither high nor low!
I studied nesting all my life
And this is what I know
It takes a ton of shillings
Lots of cases of the best
To learn the in's and out's
Of the Cuckoo's Nest!
So I packed up and experienced new
Tastes and smells and sights
But my head was focused
Concentrating day and night
I found nests were different
Every place that I would go
And I kept on searching
'cause I really had to know!
There were variations
Not the least of which were hue
So I sorted all I could
And here are just a few
Auburn feathers, black feathers
There was blonde and brown
And now some nests get clipped
So not a feather can be found!
A Cuckoo's Nest, the very best
Is neither high nor low!
I studied nesting all my life
And this is what I know
It takes a ton of shillings
Lots of cases of the best
To learn the in's and out's
Of the Cuckoo's Nest!
So I was back in school
And I was done with history
Should study something useful
So I chose philosophy
They asked a lot of questions
But the one I liked the best
Was, "Which came first
The cuckoo or the nest?"
So there my friends, I had it
It would be my lifelong quest
And this would not be answered
For some silly classroom test
It was the most important question
In all of history
And the answer, I discovered
About half the time was me
A Cuckoo's Nest, the very best
Is neither high nor low!
I studied nesting all my life
And this is what I know
It takes a ton of shillings
Lots of cases of the best
To learn the in's and out's
Of the Cuckoo's Nest!
A Cuckoo's Nest, the very best
Is neither high nor low!
I studied nesting all my life
And this is what I know
It takes a ton of shillings
Lots of cases of the best
To learn the in's and out's
Of the Cuckoo's Nest!
