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

Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh Kookaburra

Save 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!
