The Jolly Rogers - Cuckoo's Nest 2 lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Cuckoo's Nest 2 lyrics]
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
And 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
And 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
And 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
And 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
And 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!
