Version 1 from 1961
Well the cukoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
But the Cukoo never warbles till the 5th day of July
I've gambled in England, and I've gambled in Spain
If I have the gambled, I'll win you next game
My, huh, huh..
I'll build me a cabin on the mountain so high
So I can say will you as she pa**es by
Oh, the cukoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
But the Cukoo never warbles till the 5th day of July
Version 2 from 1981
Well the cukoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
But the Cukoo never warbles till the 5th day of July
Huh, huh, huh..
Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds, I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets of that silver and gold
The cukoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
But the Cukoo never warbles till the 5th day of July
I've gambled in England, and I've gambled in Spain
If I have the gambled, I'll win you next game
Ey, huh, huh..
I'll build me a cabin on the mountain so high
So I can say will you as she pa**es by
Ay, huh, huh..
The cukoo is a pretty bird, and she warbles as she flies
But the Cukoo never warbles till the 5th day of July
