Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree... Merry, merry king of the bush is he

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree... Eating all the gum drops he can see

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree... Counting all the monkeys he can see

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail... Gets a boo-boo in his tail

Laugh Kookaburra! Laugh Kookaburra! Gay your life must be!

Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!... Leave some there for me

Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!... That's not a monkey that's me

Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!... how hard your life must be

Kookaburra sits on the ol' train track... along comes a train and knocks him flat (slower)

Poor Kookaburra, Poor Kookaburra... (Pause) That's the end of That! (Thwack!)
