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!
Save some there for me

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