Kuka-burra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, kuka-burra, laugh kuka-burra
How gay your life must be.
Kuka-burra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see,
Stop kuka-burra, stop kuka-burra
Save some there for me.
Kuka-burra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see.
Stop kuka-burra, stop kuka-burra
That’s not a monkey, that’s me.
