A Reminder That No Rhyme Lies Unturned

Kookabura sits in the old gum tree

Merry, merry king of the bush is he

Laugh, Kookabura, laugh, Kookabura

Save some gum for me.

Kookabura hides in the old gum tree

Merry, merry king watching coyly

Laugh, Kookabura, laugh, Kookabura

Please watch over me.

Kookabura o’er the old gum tree

Merry, merry king of the sky is he

Laugh, Kookabura, laugh, Kookabura

Don’t fly too far from me.
