KOOKABURRA (Composite)

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bushes, he
Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra
Gay your life must be

Kookaburra flies from the old gum tree
Flapping his wings for all to see
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Flying oh so free.

Kookaburra lands in the old gum tree
Fluttering his wings for all to see
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Happy as can be!

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

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree
With a toothache bad as can be
Ha kookaburra, ha kookaburra
Didn't save any 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

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,
Tears in his eyes and his pants on fire,
Ouch Kookaburra, Ouch Kookaburra,
Hot your tail must be.

"Kookaburra sits on the railroad track
Along comes a train and smashes him flat
Poor kookaburra, poor kookaburra
That's the end of that!"

Kookaburra sits on the electric wire
Jumping up and down with his pants on fire
Scorched kookaburra, scorched kookaburra
Gay your life must be.
