Koala Koala Lyrics - John Williamson

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
