[Intro]
Now, there's an old Australian stockman
And he's lying, just a dying
And he gets himself up onto one elbow
And he turns to his mates, and he says
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl
Keep me cockatoo cool
Don't go acting the fool, Curl
Just keep me cockatoo cool, altogether now
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
[Verse 3]
Take me koala back, Jack
Take me koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Jack
So take me koala back, time to sing again
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
[Verse 4]
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]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
[Verse 5]
Mind me platypus duck, Buck
Mind me platypus duck
Don't let him go running amok, Buck
Just mind me platypus duck, let me hear it now
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
[Verse 6]
Play your didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Keep playin' 'til I shoot through, Blue
Play your didgeridoo, sing it easy now
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
[Verse 7]
Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
Haven't tanned me hide when I've died, Clyde
And then just hang it on the shed, altogether now
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
[Outro]
Tie me kangaroo down
One more time, tie me kangaroo down
