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 gumdrops 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!
