Kenny Koala lives in a tree
Eating juicy gum leaves for his tea
With his shiny brown eyes
and his big black nose
He has very sharp claws on his toes

Looking around and way down low
He watches the wallabies put on a show

He sleeps all day and wakes at night
But unlike a bird he can't take flight
So Kenny Koala sits in his tree
Just low enough for all to see
