Viracocha	Origins: Kookaburra - possible copyright info. (57* d)	RE: Origins: Kookaburra - possible copyright info.	28 Jul 07
In my Brownies (which was only the 90s), I was taught: KOOKABURRA Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree Merry merry king of the bush is he Laugh, kookaburra, laugh, kookaburra! Gay your life must be! Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree Counting all the monkies that he can see Stop, kookaburra! stop, kookaburra! Please do not count me! Kookaburra sits on electric wire Tailfeathers burnt and his bum's on fire Ouch, kookaburra! ouch, kookaburra! Burnt your bum may be!" There were other verses, I think, and I'm not sure it was 'ouch, kookaburra' in the 3rd verse, but my version was definately 'tailfeathers burnt' not 'tears in his eyes'... -Viracocha
