KOOKABURRA

 

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 gumdrops he can see.

Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra!

Save a few for me.

 

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree

Shooting all the monkeys he can see.

Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra!

That’s not a monkey, that’s me!

 

Kookaburra sits on the railroad track.

Along comes a train and pushes him back.

Poor Kookaburra!  Poor Kookaburra!

That’s the end of that.


 

 
               KUM BA YAH

 

Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah.

Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah.

Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah.

Oh, Lord, kum ba yah.

 

Someone’s crying, Lord, kum ba yah.

 

Someone’s praying, Lord, kum ba yah.

 

Someone’s laughing, Lord, kum ba yah.

 

Someone’s singing, Lord, kum ba yah.
