The Cuckoo's Nest

As I went walking one morning in May

I met a pretty fair maid and unto her did say

My love I am inclined, I'm telling you my mind

my inclination lies in your cuckoos nest

 

My darling said she, I'm innocent and young

I scarcely can believe in your false deluding tongue

Yet I see it in your eyes, it fills me with surprise

That your inclination lies in my cuckoos nest

 

Some like a girl who is pretty in the face

And some like a girl who is slender in the waist

Oh but give me a girl, who'll wriggle and will twist

At the bottom of the belly lies the cuckoos nest

 

My darling said he , if you see it in my eyes

Just think of it as honest and do not be surprised

For I love you my dear, I'll marry you I swear

If you let me put my hand on your cuckoos nest

 

My darling said she, you can do no such thing

My mother always told me it was committing sin

My maidenhead to lose and my sense to be abused

So have no more to do with my cuckoos nest

 

My darling , it's not committing sin

But common sense should tell you it is a pleasing thing

You're brought into this world to increase and do your best

To take a man to heaven in your cuckoos nest

 

My darling , I cannot you deny

You've surely won my heart with the roving of your eye

I can see it in your eyes, your courage is surprised

So gently slip your hand on my cuckoos nest
