. . . There's an old Australian stockman
* * * *
Lying, dying, And he gets himself up onto one elbow
* * * *
And he turns to his mates, who are gathered round him . . and he says
Watch me wallaby's feed, mate, watch me wallaby's feed
They're a dangerous breed, mate, so watch me wallaby's feed (All together now)
Chorus
Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down
Verse 2
Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl, keep me cockatoo cool
Don't go acting the fool, Curl, just keep me cockatoo cool
Take me koala back, Jack, take me Koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac, so take me koala back
Chorus
Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down
Verse 3
Let me Mongoose go loose, Lew, let me Mongoose go loose
They're of no further use, Lew, so let me Mongoose go loose
Mind me platypus duck, Bill, mind me playtpus duck
Don't let him go running amuck, Bill, mind me platypus duck
Chorus
Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down
Verse 4
Play your didgeridoo, Blue, play your didgeridoo
Keep playing 'til I shoot through, Blue, play your didgeridoo
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 hanging on the shed
