Okay so this is the song my Lit teacher had us sing along to in class. It's an old Australian song that was the number 1 song in Australia for four weeks in 1960. After you read it you'll see why im still confused about why. Anyways it has one verse in it that im leaving out cause its kinda offensive in an oblivious 60's kind of way. I so wish I could post the recording of the Australian guys singing, lol! But oh well, here's the song:
Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport
There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying,
and he gets himself up on one elbow,
and he turns to his mates
who are gathered round him and he says:
Watch me wallabys feed mate
Watch me wallabys feed.
Theyre a dangerous breed mate
so watch me wallabys 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
Don't go acting the fool, Curl
just keep me cockatoo cool
Altogether now!
Chorus
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
Mind me platypus duck,Bill,
mind me platypus duck
don't let him go running amok Bill
mind me platypus duck
Altogether now!
Chorus
Tan me hide when i m dead, Fred
tan me hide when Im dead
So we tanned his hide when he died Clyde
And that's it hanging on the shed
Altogether now!
Chorus
