“Dear little baby koala so small, inside the pouch of your mother.

Holding so close to your mother so dear, You are her baby koala!

Hush, hush her baby’s asleep. 

Oh Hush, hush, her little one sleeps.

 

What are you dreaming of, baby so small, inside the pouch of your mother?

Dreaming of cloudlands and canopies tall; Always her baby koala!

Hush, hush her baby’s asleep.

Oh Hush, hush, her little one sleeps… Baby’s asleep…” Sherelle Eyles
