Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree,
Merry, merry king of the gush is he.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
Happy your life must be.  
 
Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops 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!
