Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport

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

	Ab	C#
	Watch me wallaby's	feed, mate,

	Eb	Ab
	watch me wallaby's	feed

	Ab	C#
	They're a dangerous	breed, mate,

	Eb	Ab
so	watch me wallaby's	feed

(All together now)

		Ab	C#
		Tie me kangaroo	down sport,

		Eb7	Ab
		tie me kangaroo	down

		Ab	C#
		Tie me kangaroo	down sport,

		Eb7	Ab
		tie me kangaroo	down

(All together now)

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

Let me Abos go loose, Lew,

let me Abos go loose

They're of no further use, Lew,

so let me Abos go loose ...

(Modern: substitute "mongoose" for "Abos", less derogatory!)

Mind me platypus duck, Bill,

mind me playtpus duck

Don't let him go running amuck, Bill,

mind me platypus duck

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

(SPOKEN) And that's it hanging on the shed

Go back
