[Verse 1]
Gonna build me log cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can see Willi
As he goes passing by

[Chorus]
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never says cuckoo
Till the fourth day July

[Verse 2]
I've played cards in England
I've played cards in Spain
I'll bet you ten dollars
I'll beat you next game

[Chorus]
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never says cuckoo
Till the fourth day July

[Verse 3]
Jack of diamonds, Jack of diamonds
I've known you from old
You robbed my poor pocket
Of my silver and my gold
[Chorus]
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
She never says cuckoo
Till the fourth day July
