"If you don't warble, I'll kill you, My little cuckoo," by the impatient and irritable Oda Nobunaga.
"If you don't warble, I'll trick you into warbling, My little cuckoo," by the crafty and ingenious Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
"If you don't warble, I'll wait until you warble, My little cuckoo," by the patient Tokugawa Ieyasu.
