Back to Gilwell (I used to be a Cuckoo)

I used to a Cuk-koo, and a jolly Cukkoo too,

But now I’ve finished Cuckooing I don’t know what to do,

I’m growing old and feeble and I can cuck no more,

So I’m going to work my ticket if I can.

Back to Gill-well, happy land, (happy land),

I’m going to work my ticket if I can.

I used to be a Pecker, and a good old Pecker too,

But now I’ve finished pecking, I don’t know what to do,

I’m growing old and feeble and I can “Peck” no more

So I’m going to work my ticket If I can,

Back to gilwell…….

I used to be a Pigeon, and good old Pigeon too,

But now I’ve finished pigeoning, I don’t know what to do,

I’m growing old and feeble and I can ‘pige’ no more

So I’m going to work my ticket if I can,

Back to Gilwell………..

I used to be a Raven, and a good old Raven too,

But now I’ve finished ravening, I don’t know what to do,

I’m growing old and feeble and I can ‘rave’ no more

So I’m going to work my ticket if I can,

Banck to Gilwell………..
