"Why Kookaburras Laugh"

Verse 1

People say the kookaburra laughs at silly things they see,

From folks in funny hats to kangaroos up in a tree.

They giggle at our accents, at our flip-flop summer wear,

And some folks think they're laughing just to fill the bushy air.

Chorus

But the real reason kookaburras laugh all day,

Isn’t cause of tourists or folks who’ve lost their way.

They’ve got a secret joke they’ve shared since ancient lore,

And we’re the punchline they just can’t ignore!

Verse 2

They say that kookaburras chuckle at people driving on the right,

Or laughing at the dingoes who howl under moonlight.

Some think it’s all about the vegemite we spread,

Or that they can’t help but cackle at the mess on top our heads!

Chorus

But the real reason kookaburras laugh all day,

Isn’t cause of mullets or fish we throw away.

They’re laughing at a joke passed down from their great-grandmother’s call,

A secret punchline none of us will ever get at all!

Bridge

Is it a joke about the crocodiles or something we’ve missed?

Or maybe we’re just clueless—are we the twist?

They’ve been laughing for ages; it’s true, no lies,

And we just keep on wondering what tickles their skies!

Verse 3

So next time you hear that kookaburra in the tree,

Know they’re laughing with wisdom older than we’ll ever be.

The world’s their comedy, their punchlines are the breeze,

And as for us? We're the joke that never ceased to please.

Outro

Oh kookaburra, tell us—why do you laugh?

Do we look that silly when we photograph?

Or maybe you’re just laughing cause we’ll never know,

Why a kookaburra’s laugh has that endless Aussie flow.
