Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra Laugh, Kookaburra
What a life you lead
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry, merry little bird is he
Sing, Kookaburra Sing, Kookabura
Sing your song for me
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 is me
