Yellow Cuckoo
How do you do? How do you do? I'm doing fine How about you? You're a little blind That's nothing new Well you got some eyes But you got no sight And that's all right What you don't see won't hurt me As long as I'm free How are your blues? How are your blues? Well I guess you can't choose When you love and who Well I stole your lovin' But you got me runnin' on back to you And if you're still blue I'll steal you yellow cuckoo from the zoo Well I know you grew Yes I know you grew Cuz that's what trees like to do Yellow cuckoo from me flew Well I'll watch you get tall As I climb you all And you'll catch my fall Yes I'll take off my boots And plant my feet in your shoes To grow from your roots How long must I wait How long must I wait Until you learn to say my name? It's not easy teachin' trees to speak our way Well I'll love you until the day They chop you down and make me pay For your bones Yes I'll sell all your honey And then I'll take all that money Until I can pay to mold You into a guitar I can hold
