A
Goodbye Bunyip Bluegum, goodbye Blinky Bill,

    A
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.
[Verse 2]
A
Shiny little black nose and fluffy little ears,

A
furry little bundle soaking up the tears;

D
Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are crying in the rain

    E *
and wombat's gone into his hole and won't come out.
[Chorus]
   D              E                 A
Oh pass the hat around between your friends,

        D          E     A       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.
[Verse 3]
       A
'Cause Blinky Bill is dying, cross him off the list,

A
knock on doors, ring the bell, save the eucalypts;

  D
I don't think I could stand the shame, knowing that I could,

     E *
have saved the world from losing something beautiful and good.
[Chorus]
   D              E                 A
Oh pass the hat around between your friends,

        D          E     A       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.
[Interlude] A A [Verse 4]
A
One doctor on the job is hardly enough,

A
one little hospital, wake up Australia;

     D
it's our corner of the world, time to pull our weight,

     E *
what would we tell our children about our little mate?
[Verse 1] (Reprise)
A
Goodbye Bunyip Bluegum, goodbye Blinky Bill,

    A
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.
[Chorus]
   D              E                 A
Oh pass the hat around between your friends,

        D          E     A       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.
[End-Chorus]
   D              E                 A
Oh pass the hat around between your friends,

        D          E     A       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.
