Goodbye Blinky Bill

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 Shiny little black nose and fluffy little ears Furry little bundle soaking up the tears Oh Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are crying in the rain and Wombat's gone into his hole and won't come out CHORUS Oh pass the hat around between your friends There's no time to contemplate Maybe if we show some love Maybe it's not too 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)
