Kookaburra (Children's Songs 3/4)

Well I'm back again today with another installment to my children's songs series! The last of which will be today! Meanwhile, here's today's song! I decided to travel a little ways to the other side of the world for this one. ;-)

Kookaburra Song (http://youtu.be/bgFZJqXS45M)

The Kookaburra Song is a popular Australian nursery rhyme written in 1934 by Marion Sinclair. She was a music teacher at a girls' school in Melbourne, where she first performed the song. Needless to say, the girls there fell in love with it, and it has gripped the hearts of the world ever since!

Here's a page with lyrics and an mp3, because the video's sound quality isn't too good (sorry!): http://alldownunder.com/australian-music-songs/kookaburra-song.htm
