LYRICS
The cuckoo and the donkey,
They had a dreadful fight:
Which one would sing the sweetest
When lovely May arrived.

The cuckoo said: "I do it!"
And carried out his song.
"But I can do it better!"
The donkey brayed along.

How sweet and how melodious,
It sounded wide and far:
They were singing both together
"Goo-koo, Goo-koo, ee-ah, ee-ah!"

Der Kuckuck und der Esel,
Die hatten großen Streit,
Wer wohl am besten sänge
Zur schönen Maienzeit

Der Kuckuck sprach: "Das kann ich!"
Und hub gleich an zu schrei'n.
"Ich aber kann es besser!"
Fiel gleich der Esel ein.

Das klang so schön und lieblich,
So schön von fern und nah;
Sie sangen alle beide
"Kuckuck, Kuckuck, i-a, i-a!"
