By John Williamson


Koala Koala - we love you

But we chop down your home

And you run

Koala, Koala - where do you go

When we take your gum tree away


Please don't run on the road

And please don't cry

Help is on its way

We're gonna learn what makes you die

Gonna send in some money today


You can't dig a hole

Or live in a roof

Or hang from a big, fig tree

If I plant you a special Eucalypt

Will you come and live with me


Koalas they used to be everywhere

What a paradise it could be

A walk in the bush could be heaven

Bring the dreamtime back to me


Yeah, we're going to learn what makes you die

Gonna send in some money today
