- The bee, the bat, the butterfly,
The cuckoo, and the swallow,
The corncrake put out his beak
And bid them all good morrow. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.

- The cuckoo comes in April
She sings her song in May,
She hums her tune in the end of June
And in July she flys away.
