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 that he can see Stop, kookaburra, stop Kookaburra, leave some there for me Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Chasing all the monkeys he can see Stop, kookaburra, stop Kookaburra, that's not a monkey, that's me!
