The Birds

From out of a wood did a cuckoo fly
Cuckoo
He came to a manger with joyful cry
Cuckoo
He hopped, he curtsied, 'round he flew
And loud his jubilation grew
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo
A pigeon flew over to Galilee
Vrer-croo
He strutted and cooed and was full of glee
Vrer-croo
And showed with jewelled wings unfurled
His joy that Christ was in the world
Vrer-croo, vrer-croo, vrer-croo
A dove settled down upon Nazareth
Tsu-croo
And tenderly chanted with all his breath
Tsu-croo
«O you,» he cooed
«So good and true
My beauty do I give to you!»
Tsu-croo, tsu-croo-, tsu-croo
