Misirlouckoo's Nest from LVL 2 by Music the Gathering

There's a bushel in the garden where the lads and lassies meet
They do there what they wouldn’t do out in the open street
The first time that I went there I was very much impressed
To see the young folks rumplin' up the cuckoo's nest.

High the cuckoo’s nest
Low the cuckoo’s nest
I'll give any man a shilling and a bottle of the best
Just to rumple up the feathers of the cuckoo's nest.

Well he had me in the morning and he had me in the night
He’d never gone that way before and had to do it right
He never would have found it and he never would have guessed
If I hadn't shown him where to find the cuckoo's nest.

I showed him where to find it and I showed him where to go
Through the prickles and the brambles where the little cuckoo's grow,
From the moment that he found it I would never let him rest
Till he’d rumpled up the feathers of me cuckoo's nest.

Chorus

It was thorny, it was prickled, it was feathered all around
It was tucked into a corner where it wasn't easy found,
I said, "Young man, you're blundering." he said it wasn't true
And he left me with the makings of a young cuckoo.
