Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree

Lyrics

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!

Variation - Kookaburra Sits on the Telephone Wire

Lyrics

Kookaburra sits on the telephone wire
Jumping up and down with his pants on fire
Laugh, kookaburra laugh
Kookaburra hot your pants must be

There is another verse that goes:

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gumdrops he can see
Laugh, Kookaburra, Laugh.
Save one just for me.

I learned it:

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gumdrops he can see.
Stop, Kookaburra. Stop, Kookaburra
Save some just for me.

I know two more verses:

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 the railroad track
Along comes a train and hits him. Smack!
Poor Kookaburra, poor Kookaburra,
That's the end of that.

As kids, we heard it as: "kookaburra sat on the railroad track; along came a train and smashed him flat"

Kookaburra sits on a telephone wire
Jumping up and down
his bums on fire
Scream kookaburra scream kookaburra
Hot your bum must be

Kookaburra sitting on the construction site
Along comes a bulldozer and eats his fries
Wail kookaburra wail kookaburra
End your life right now

Kookaburra eats a piece of gum
Sticks to his beak then he chokes
Die kookaburra die kookaburra
Slow your death maybe
