Kookaburra
Written by Marion Sinclair in 1932
(G) Kookaburra (C) sits in the (G) old gum tree
Merry, merry (C) king of the (G) bush is he
Laugh, (C) Kookaburra! (G) Laugh, Kookaburra!
What a (D) life you lead
(G) Kookaburra (C) sits in the (G) old gum tree
Merry, merry, merry (C) little (G) bird is he
Sing, (C) Kookaburra! (G) Sing, Kookaburra!
Sing your (D) song for (G) me.
Kookaburra (C) sits in the (G) old gum tree
Eating all the (C) gum drops (G) he can see
Stop, (C) Kookaburra! (G) Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some (D) there for (G) me
(G) Kookaburra (C) sits in the (G) old gum tree
Counting all the (C) monkeys (G) he can see
Stop, (C) Kookaburra! (G) Stop, Kookaburra!
That’s not a (D) monkey that is (G) me.
