about

A rockin' tribute to the shining cuckoo. This opportunistic bird flies to New Zealand in the spring, lays its egg in another bird's nest. The little cuckoo kicks out the other chicks and demands to be fed.

lyrics

We’re back
From the northwest
Shine in our eye and stripes on our chest
Look out
With a bird’s eye view
We’re coming to a nest near you

Cuckoo to you

Hey you
Got a real nice place
Plenty of room and I trust your face
Your home
Can be my home too
Boy have I got something for you

Little grey warbler
With a sweet sweet song
Take my egg
I won’t be long
Raise that baby like a mother should
I never could be that good

Hello
I’m a new face
Out of my shell and into your place
I’m big
And I’m hungry
You better make room for me
