A 
Oh goodbye Bunyip Bluegum, goodbye Blinky Bill 
 
 
And beautiful little Nutsie, I can't believe it 
 
    D 
Our koalas are all dying, can it really be? 
 
  E 
A national disaster, a world catastrophe 
 
 
A 
Shiny little black nose and fluffy little ears 
 
 
Furry little bundle soaking up the tears 
 
   D 
Oh Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are crying in the rain 
 
    E 
and Wombat's gone into his hole and won't come out 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
   D             E7                 A    
Oh pass the hat around between your friends 
 
        D          E7     A 
There's no time to contemplate 
 
D           E         F#m 
Maybe if we show some love 
 
D          E       A 
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)
