KOOKABURRAS
Dacelo novaeguineae
Ho, koo-koo-kaa-kaa,
Kookaburras,
Laughing in your trees;
No jumbuck jollier,
Gladly I’d follow yu’,
Life was meant to please.
Can you whistle?
Oh but this’ll
Do, for laughter’s sweet
And you could,
If you but stood
Your terribly ticklish feet.
Tiring is this
Wing-flap business,
But you need to fly;
For ticklish feet
Sure has you beat,
But what a way to die!
