Kookaburra Australian Children's Song Composer(s): Marion Sinclair
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Merry, merry king of the bush is he Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra! Gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Eating all the gum drops he can see Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! Leave some there for me
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Counting all the monkeys he can see Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! That's not a monkey, that's me!
Alternative Verses:
Kookaburra flies from the old gum tree Flapping his wings for all to see Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra! Flying oh so free
Kookaburra lands in the old gum tree Fluttering his wings for all to see Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra! Happy as can be!
Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail Gets a boo-boo in his tail Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra! Oh how life can be!
Kookaburra sits on the electric wire Jumping up and down with his tail on fire Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch! Kookaburra, hot your tail must be!
