Oh [A]goodbye Bunyip Bluegum, goodbye Blinky Bill
And beautiful little Nutsie, I can't believe it
Our [D]koalas are all dying, can it really be?
A [E]national disaster, a world catastrophe
[A]Shiny little black nose and fluffy little ears
Furry little bundle soaking up the tears
Oh [D]Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are crying in the rain
and [E]Wombat's gone into his hole and won't come out
CHORUS
Oh [D]pass the hat a[E7]round between your [A]friends
There's [D]no time to [E7]contemp[A]late
[D]Maybe if we [E]show some [F#M]love
[D]Maybe it's [E]not too [A]late
'Cause Blinky Bill is dying, cross him off the list
Knock on doors, ring the bell, save the eucalypts
I don't think I could stand the shame,
Knowing that I could
Have saved the world from losing
Something beautiful and good
(REPEAT CHORUS)
One doctor on the job is hardly enough
One little hospital, wake up Australia
It's our corner of the world,
Time to pull our weight
What would we tell our children
About our little mate?
Oh goodbye Bunyip Bluegum, goodbye Blinky Bill
And beautiful little Nutsie, I can't believe it
Our koalas are all dying, can it really be?
A national disaster, a world catastrophe
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
