Cuckoo’s Nest 2 Lyrics by The Jolly Rogers

XXV

2016

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!
