Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra, laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh kookaburra
Cawing with his might at the top of the tree
Flew from the hunter, the antiquary
Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra, laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh kookaburra
Coo, Coo, etc
Second grade, sung this song with Mr. T
In his music class, just out of key
Little splendid bird, little splendid bird, little splendid bird living on that tree
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree"Come down stupid bird, you listen to me"
Cried the old hunter, cried the old hunter, cried the old hunter named Mr. Marquis
Coo, Coo, etc
And the music class, that sung with me
Couldn't quite get over this word, query
Laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra, laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh kookaburra
Now Mr. Marquis did raise his gun
Firecracker shot and the bird was done
Laugh music class, laugh music class, laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh music class
Coo, Coo, etc.
