Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree
At primary school in Victoria in the 40s & 50s we sang only the one verse (the first verse in Swagman's original post) when in class, but we sang it as a round with four entries as also mentioned above. Out in the school yard, however, we sang it (again with only the one verse) very similar to the last verse of Freda's second posting. June Factor (?) published it in her "Cinderella dressed in yella" in the 60s, as I recall.
Cheers, Rowan
