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.
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.
