Written by Marion Sinclair in 1932 for a Girl Guides competition, Kookaburra quickly became one of Australia's most beloved children's songs. It is traditionally sung as a round in three or four parts, imitating the laughing call of the kookaburra bird.
Full Lyrics
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 no monkey, that's me!
