Kookaburra

"Kookaburra" was a traditional nursery rhyme. Trish Webber sang it to calm her daughter Chloe whenever times got tough. The song's effect on Chloe subdued a monster based on a drawing of her father. (TV: )
Trish was heard to sing, in part:
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be
