Kookaburro

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,
With a bellyache as you can see,
Ha, Kookaburra, Ha, Kookaburra,
You didn't save any 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

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be

Kookaburro sits on an electric wire
Jumping up and down cuz his rump’s on fire
Fry Kookaburro Fry Kookaburro
Tasty you will be!

Kookaburra sits on the old worn trail,
Pulling all the splinters from his tail,
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch, Kookaburra,
Sore your tail must be!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
He fell down and broke his knee
Poor Kookaburra! Poor Kookaburra!
Glad it wasn't me!

Kookaburra sits on the railroad tracks,
Better get off or you'll be flat,
Run kookaburra, run kookaburra,
UhOh! Watch out! SPLAT!

  2. I just stumbled upon your saving cache here. It's lovely. I teach toddlers. I'd like to know some of the tunes, like the koala and kangaroo dity. You've collected my favorites!
