Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree (by M. Sinclair)

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

2. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Eating all the gumdrops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra
Leave some there for me.

3. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra
That's no monkey, that's me.

Inoffzielle vierte Strophe :

4. Kookaburra sits on the electric wire,
Tears in his eyes and his pants on fire
Ouch, Kookaburra, Ouch, Kookaburra
Hot your tail must be.

Deutsche Übersetzung der Ersten Stophe:

1. Kookaburra sitzt auf dem hohen Gum-Baum,
lächelt in den Himmel und tut sich umschaun
Hey, Kookaburra, Hey, Kookaburra
Bist ein König Du.
