Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he,
Laugh, kookaburra, laugh, kookaburra,
Gay your life must be, ha, ha, ha!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Eating all the gumdrops he can see,
Stop, kookaburra, stop, kookaburra,
Save some there for me, ha, ha, ha!

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, ha, ha, ha!

Kookaburra sits on an electric wire
Jumping up and down 'cos his bums on fire
Fry Kookaburra, fry kookaburra
Tasty you will be, ha ha ha!

Kookaburra sits on an electric wire
With tears in his eyes and his tail on fire
Ouch Kookaburra, ouch Kookaburra
Sore your tail must be, ha ha ha!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
With a bellyache as you can see,
Ha, Kookaburra, Ha, Kookaburra,
Didn't save any for me, ha ha ha!

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Pulling all the splinters out of his tail,
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch, Kookaburra,
Sore your tail must be, ha ha ha!

Kookaburra sits on the railroad tracks,
Better get off or he'll be flat,
Run kookaburra, run kookaburra,
Uh-Oh!, watch out!, SPLAT
