Lyrics

Karl the Koala
(Written by Phil Christie)

The life and times of Karl the Koala
Is short and kinda simple and frankly if you wanna
Hear about Karl, you might as well listen to me
You see he don?t talk much and won?t give interviews
He?s really quite complacent and doesn?t have a point of view
As far as he?s concerned, you?d best just let him be

Chorus:
Nibblin? on a eucalyptus leaf
With junior on his back and sister on his knee
And who ever heard of a bear livin? in a tree?
Eat, drink, sleep and be lazy
People look at him kinda crazy
But Karl the Koala is really quite a fella to see

Love in the life of Karl the Koala
Was clearly getting nowhere until he met Paula
Theirs was a romance sent from heaven above
Whether it was something in her big brown eyes
Or fuzzy floppy ears meant to tantalize
Karl the Koala found his Cinderella to love

(chorus)

Karl takes pleasure in a simple life
Like runnin? with the kids while his lovely wife
Watches as the sun goes down over Australia

Nothing ever changes but the seasons here
The family gets bigger with each passing year
And good ol? Karl is as happy as a bear can be

(chorus)
