Look, Mister Cuckoo, see what you do
When you begin your singing.
Look, Mister Cuckoo, see what you do
When you begin your singing.
Boys and girls in a circle dancing,
With joy their hearts are ringing.
Boys and girls in a circle dancing,
With joy their hearts are ringing.

Oh, Mister Cuckoo, how we'll miss you
When you leave in September;
Oh, Mister Cuckoo, how we'll miss you
When you leave in September;
But you have such a simple tune
That it's easy to remember.
But you have such a simple tune
That it's easy to remember.
