Goodbye Blinky Bill

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
 Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are crying in the rain
 And wombat's gone into his hole and won't come out
 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
 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
