Lyrics Song: Wetter Weather - John Edmond

There are two cuckoos in Africa that proudly wear a crest
One is black and sometimes he has a nice white breast
He is called a Jacobin, dressed like monks of old
He's been seen in India and in far off Eastern lands I'm told
The other is called le Vaillant and on his breast of white
Though he looks like Jacobin, that breast is marked with stripes
Now these two cuckoos are weathermen don't need a weather vane
They predict our thunderstorms
And in the distant East the Monsoon rain
They say "see you see you
It'll all be better when we get the wetter weather
They say "see you see you
It'll all be better when we get the wetter weather
Ancient stories about these birds say they don't drink from a stream
Their crests catch rain drops from the sky heavenly pure and clean
And round about the end of the year their wise old call is heard
That is why that sometimes they've been known as the New Year's bird
They say "see you see you
It'll all be better when we get the wetter weather
They say "see you see you
It'll all be better when we get the wetter weather
They know that crops grow better with the heavenly rain
They say we'll see you see you see you when the year turns round again
We're going off to a warmer place soon we'll disappear
Me and my cousin Jacobin we'll see you and wish you a happy New Year
They say see you see you
It'll all be better when we get the wetter weather
See you see you see you
