And he gets himself up onto one elbow
And turns to his mates who are all gathered around
And he says

Tie me kangaroo down sport tie me kangaroo down
E A B7 E
Tie me kangaroo down sport tie me kangaroo down
Watch me wallabies feed mate watch me wallabies feed

Don't go acting the fool Curl just keep me cockatoo cool
Take me koala back Mack take me koala back

Let me Abo's go loose, Lou, Let me Abo's go loose. (some use Wombats to be P.C)
They're of no further use Lou So let me Abo's go loose
Mind me platypus duck Bill mind me platypus duck
