[Verse 1]
C            G        C         F
Once a Jolly Santa, camped by a billabong
C                           G
Pulled up his sleigh by the coolibah tree
C            G    C             F
Had a little dip, boiled up the billy can
C                        G7   C
Soon he was snoring and fast asleep.
 
 
[Verse 2]
C         G        C                F
Down came Koala, climbed aboard the Santa sleigh
C                           G
Slipped on the suit, 'cause he had a plan
C                G      C               F
He called up his mates, on the old bush telegraph
C                       G7     C
Let's give old Santa a helping hand.
 
 
[Chorus]
C             F
Santa Koala, Santa Koala
C        F           C        G
Off in a flap like a mad cockatoo
       C        G       C               F
In a Christmas sleigh, full of Aussie animals
C            G7      C
Santa Koala, good on you!
 
 
[Verse 3]
C        G        C                 F
Old Mrs Platypus brought a batch of lamingtons,
C             G
Go Go Goanna played his guitar
       C       G    C                 F
As the big red roos roared across the Nullabor,
C                   G7       C
They all sang fa la la la la la.
 
 
[Chorus]
C             F
Santa Koala, Santa Koala
C        F           C        G
Off in a flap like a mad cockatoo
       C        G       C               F
In a Christmas sleigh, full of Aussie animals
C            G7      C
Santa Koala, good on you!
 
 
[Verse 4]
C            G        C             F
Echidna and Emu were busy stuffing stockings
C                              G
From the tip top of Tassie to the back of Bourke,
C              G         C                      F
And as wombat shouted, "We've finished Santa's Christmas list!"
C              G7       C
Kev Kookaburra went berserk.
 
 
[Chorus]
C             F
Santa Koala, Santa Koala
C        F           C        G
Off in a flap like a mad cockatoo
       C        G       C               F
In a Christmas sleigh, full of Aussie animals
C            G7      C
Santa Koala, good on you!
 
 
[Verse 5]
          C            G        C             F
Well they gave three cheers for Koala at the billabong,
C                    G
Woke up Santa with a hip hoorah!
         C      G    C            F
But he took one look at his empty Santa sleigh ...
C                            G7       C
"Christmas is next week, you great galah!"
 
 
[Chorus]
C             F
Santa Koala, Santa Koala
C        F           C        G
Off in a flap like a mad cockatoo
       C        G       C               F
In a Christmas sleigh, full of Aussie animals
C            G7      C
Santa Koala, good on you!
