Lyrics

"Precious Gift (Nathan Michael)" (A. Woodley)

Precious gift
Nathan Michael
Precious gift
Nathan Michael
welcome to the world

kookaburra kookaburra
in the old gum tree
laughing laughing
laughing laughing
happy as can be
the magpie and the kangaroo
John and Felice and Andrew too say
Precious gift
Nathan Michael
Precious gift
Nathan Michael
Precious gift
Nathan Michael
Welcome to the world

The roosters down at Bowral going cock-a-doodle-doo
The ponies at the pony club are sayin’ how-de-doo
Everybody’s got a smile
Wider than a country mile

Precious gift
Nathan Michael
Precious gift
Nathan Michael
Precious gift
Nathan Michael
Welcome to the world

Where the sun is shining
On the sea around us
And the seagulls flying
And another life has found us

And may your life in every way be wonderful
May your life in every way be wonderful
May your life in every way be wonderful
Precious gift
Nathan Michael
