Tie Me Kangaroo Down

Rolf Harris

SPOKEN: There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying. He gets himself up


onto one elbow and 'e turns to his mates, who are all gathered around and 'e says:





Watch me wallabies feed, mate


Watch me wallabies feed,


They're a dangerous breed, mate


So watch me wallabies feed


Altogether now!





CHORUS:


Tie me kangaroo down, sport


Tie me kangaroo down


Tie me kangaroo down, sport


Tie me kangaroo down





Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,


Keep me cockatoo cool


Ah, don't go acting the fool, Curl


Just keep me cockatoo cool


Altogether now!





(CHORUS)





'n' take me koala back, Jack


Take me koala back


He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac


So take me koala back


Altogether now!





(CHORUS)





Let me abos go loose, Lew


Let me abos go loose


They're of no further use, Lew


So let me abos go loose


Altogether now!





(CHORUS)





And mind me platypus duck, Bill


Mind me platypus duck


Ah, don't let 'im go running amok, Bill


Just mind me platypus duck


Altogether now!





(CHORUS)





Play your didgeridoo, Blue


Play your didgeridoo


Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot thru, Blue


Play your didgeridoo


Altogether now!





(CHORUS)





Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred


Tan me hide when I'm dead


So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde


And that's it hangin' on the shed!!


Altogether now!





(CHORUS)
