Five Little Koala Bears
Five little koala bears in a eucalyptus tree The first one said, hey look at me The second one said, I'm a pretty little bear The third one said, I don't have a care The fourth one said, Australia is my home The fifth one said I will never roam Five little koala bears in a eucalyptus tree Climbing and playing and happy to be free.
Kangaroo
Old hoppity-loppity kangaroo Can jump much faster than I or you. Hoppity-loppity, jump, one-two. Her tail is bent like a kitchen chair. So she can sit down to comb her hair. Hoppity-loppity, jump, one-two. She has a pouch where her baby grows. She carries the baby wherever she goes. Hoppity-loppity, jump, one-two. And when she jumps, she uses her tail, So she can jump farther and almost sail. Hoppity-loppity, jump, one-two.

Kookaburra Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Merry, merry king of the bush is he, Laugh, Kookaburra laugh, Kookaburra, gay your life must be. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Eating all the gumdrops he can see, Stop, Kookaburra stop, Kookaburra, leave some there for me. The Kangaroo
Said the kind kangaroo, "What can I do? If I had a cradle, I'd rock it. But my baby is small, so I think after all, I'll carry him round in my pocket!"
