1. 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.
2. A pidgeon flew over to Galilee, VrercrooHe strutted and cooed and was full of glee, Vrercroo,And showed with jewelled wings unfurled,His joy that Christ was in the world,Vrercroo, Vrercroo, Vrercroo.
3. A dove settled down upon Nazareth, Tsucroo,And tenderly chanted with all his breath, Tsucroo,He seemed to say: “You’re good and true,My beauty do I give to you”Tsucroo, Tsucroo, Tsucroo.
