Kookaburra singing which way is home.

Kookaburra sits on 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
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.

Nice image. Brought back to mind a song we used to sing in grade school about the kookaburra sitting in the old gym tree and being the merry, merry king of the bush.

Good capture of this bird. I remember singing this song as a kid.

[Jessica Eby]

Love the shot and am so glad you shared the song! My dad and I always thought we'd learned different versions of this song as children-- but it seems we just learned different verses of the same song (he sings the words from verse 2 and I sing the words from verse 1)!
