Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree.
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Eating all the gumdrops he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra!
Save some gum for me.

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey, that's ME!

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 'lectric wire,

Jumping up and down with his tail on fire.

Ouch, Kookaburra!  Ouch Kookaburra!

Hot your tail must be!
