A5 
Oh goodbye Bunyip Bluegum , goodbye Blinky Bill 
 
And beautiful little Nutsie, I can't believe it 
    D5 
Our koalas are all dying, can it really be? 
  E5 
A national disaster, a world catastrophe 
A5 
Shiny little black nose and fluffy little ears 
 
Furry little bundle soaking up the tears 
   D5 
Oh Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are crying in the rain 
    E5 
and Wombat's gone into his hole and won't come out 
 
CHORUS 
   D5             E5                 A5    
Oh pass the hat around between your friends 
        D5          E5     A5 
There's no time to contemplate 
D5           E5         F#5 
Maybe if we show some love 
D5          E5       A5 
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)
