Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
merry merry king of the bush is he,
laugh, kookaburra, laugh
kookaburra, good 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!
