merry, merry king of the bush is he. Or something like that. If I remember correctly. We sang the song in elementary school back when kids did such things.....in the stone age.

One of my favorite songs from 40s-50s grade school.

Kookaburra sittin' in the old gum tree
Merry merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, kookaburra
Laugh, kookaburra
Gay your life must be

I remember the tune, and am singing it even as I write. Had no idea what that bird sounded like until now.

Thanks for the memory!
