Do you see what I see?
Way up high in that Eucalypt tree.
I do love those furry, soft, cuddly bears,
An animal,it appears with not a care.

I wonder what he thinks, all us kids running around down here,
He silently watches us, ever so near.
He doesn't travel far, and he can appear to be quite slow,
But he attracts loving stares where ever he goes.

Oh, Koala, what a life you lead,
Eating and sleeping is all you need.
I love your fuzzy ears and cute black nose,
Little eyes and sharp little toes.

Take care, oh little bear.
Until we meet again, one bright sunny day,
I will come back one day again and play.
Our little secrets I will keep.
Slowly, closing his eyes,
Drifts off to sleep.
