GOODBYE BLINKY BILL

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)
