Lyrics

(A)What’s that there, (D)can you see?

I (A)won der (F#m)what that (B7)thing can be.

(A)Now it’s sit ting (D)in the (D#dim)tree, (D)part of the gum tree (A)fa mi ly.

It (D)flies up a high,

(A)lands on a branch,

You guessed it, it’s a kookaburra!

And (A)when it’s sit ting (D)in the (D#dim)tree it’s (D)part of the gum tree (A)fa mi ly.

(A)What’s that there, (D)can you see?

I (A)won der (F#m)what that (B7)thing can be.

(A)Slee ping up there (D)in the (D#dim)tree, (D)part of the gum tree (A)fa mi ly.

It (D)sits up a branch,

(A)chews the leaves, branch,

(B7)baby this her back: (do you know what it is?)

You guessed it, it’s a koala!

And (A)when it’s sit ting (D)in the (D#dim)tree it’s (D)part of the gum tree (A)fa mi ly.
