"A VERSION OF THE KOOKABURRA SONG"

Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree Merry,merry king of the bush is he. Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh Kookaburra Great your life must be.

Kookaburra sits in an oldgum tree. Eating all the gumdrops he can see. Stop Kookaburra, Stop Kookaburra Save some there for me!

Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree, Counting all the monkeys he can see. Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra, That's not a monkey, that's me!

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail Gets a boo-boo in his tail Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, Kookaburra! Oh how life can be!

Kookaburra sits on the electric wire, Jumping up and down with his pants on fire, Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch, Kookaburra, Hot your tail must be.
