A POLISH SONG: THE CUCKOO SINGS
THE CUCKOO IS CALLING,
A LAD IS LOOKING, FOR A BRIDGE,
HE'S LOOKING, HE'S CHOOSING,
TURNING HIS NOSE IN THE AIR.
CUCKOO, CUCKOO, AHA, AHA, ETC. (REFRAIN)
WODEERYDY ETC.
BOYS, O MY BOYS
WHAT MAKES YOU SO COCKSURE?
IS IT YOUR JACKETS,
OF WHICH YOU HAVE BUT ONE? (REFRAIN)
THE CUCKOO IS CALLING
HEAR MY MEART IS BEATING
THE BOY WHO SEEKS A RICH GIRL
IS A STUPID FELLOW (REFRAIN)
GO AND ASK THE CUCKOO,
HE'LL TELL YOU FOR SURE,
THE BOY WITH A GOOD HEAD
HE IS THE RICHEST.

Submitter comment:
THIS SONG COMES FROM THE SOUTH WESTERN PART OF POLAND CALLED
SLASK. MY PARENTS WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT, BUT I LEARNED IT AT
POLISH LESSONS IN DETROIT, FROM MRS. HELEN CHMIELEWSKI.
