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.
