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!
