Five little koala bears

Five little koala bears in a eucalyptus tree
The first one dais, hey look at me.
The second one said I’m a pretty furry bear.
The third one said, I don’t have a care.
The fourth one said, Australia is my home.
The fifth one said, I will never roam.
Five little koala bear in a eucalyptus tree
Climbing and playing and happy to be free!
