Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Merry, merry king of the bush is he Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh Kookaburra! Gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Eating all the gum drops he can see Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! Leave some there for me!
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 in the old gum tree Merry, merry king of the bush is he Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh Kookaburra! Gay your life must be ______________________________________________________ “Kookaburra” was written by Marion Sinclair in 1934 as an entry in a competition run by the Girl Guides Association of Victoria, with the rights of the winning song to be sold to raise money for the purchase of a camping ground, eventually chosen as Britannia Park. The song was performed for the first time in 1934, at the annual Jamboree in Frankston, Victoria. ______________________________________________________
What a wonderful shot. After all those years of singing about that silly bird, I finally get to see one. It is quite a handsome fellow. And thanks for the story on the song. Of course, now I won’t be able to get it out of my head!
