As a kid here in Australia we used to sing a more rude version in the playground, it went something like:

Kookaburra sits on the electric wire, jumping up and down with his balls on fire.....anyway I dont remember the rest, it was a long time ago.

@ornitorrinco01 I like wrecking songs like that from time to time too. Thank you for the comment:)

My son didn't believe me that there was a song like this, he thought I was teasing him. SO thanks for posting. Makes me remember being a kid

@nurseebol Thanks for the kind comment NurseE' I'm still a big kid in part. I'm working on another channel called 'songswelovetosing' where I plan on putting the words and the chords up along with singing many songs. Right now I'm putting most of my energy toward my/our Local Ideas Inc, energy bootlegger project. but it is -20 deg f here so I'm putzing on the net until it getis up to a least Zero eh. PL&H Ken

you know, i remember when i was a kid, i was really immature.

I changed the lyrics a little bit. goes like this:

Kookaburra sits on the old gum treeeee, many many people f*cked with sheee

fuuuuuuck, kookaburra fuuuuck, kookaburra gay your life must be. lul.

@XXDDDDDDDD Hey that is okay, some suposedly "mature" people have written comments so bad I had to delete them from here. A lot of kids and parents like this song, it is a catchy melody. The 'f' word is human intercourse and only seudo-religious people make it dirty. I tollerate religion but nature is my higher power. Also gay used to mean happy, things change eh. PL&H, Ken

@mattbrownbill Other than our primary schools are called grade schools, yes kookaburra was a popular childrens song in the USA too when I was young, believe or not as you choose... PL&H, K

It's rather SAD AND STUPID that the word 'gay' has come to mean a male homosexual and NOBODY knows the REAL meaning of the word gay which means FESTIVE or FESTIVELY HAPPY. What's next? Finding some way to sensor 'Deck the Halls'? "Don we now our GAY apparel..." People need to GROW UP AND GET LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!

The song was big in the early sixties in elementary schools. I learned it about 62' when I was eight. The melody was a little different though.

@colesis1shit I thumbed up on this and I agree 100%, did Dolly sue Witney when she had remade I will always love you?to me this is like telling some idiot judge I am suing everyone out there that did their song in 4 4 time.or rock groups can sue everyone because they own the patent on the e minor chord. it is hard to come up with new or fresh material for musicians and stepping on toes is a given. not because they mean to. it is just inevitable.
