Koala Koala

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
