There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying, he gets himself up onto one elbow and he turns to his mates, who are all gathered around and he says:
Watch me wallabies feed, mate, watch me wallabies feed, they're a dangerous breed, mate, so watch me wallabies feed, altogether now
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
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down, tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Take me koala back, Jack, take me koala back, he lives somewhere out on the track, Jack, so take me koala back, try to sing again
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down, tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
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
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down, tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Mind me platypus duck, Bill, mind me platypus duck, don't let him go running amok, Bill, just mind me platypus duck, let me hear it now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down, tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Play your didgeridoo, Blue, play your didgeridoo, keep playing 'til I shoot thru, Blue, play your didgeridoo, sing it easy now
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 hangin' on the shed, altogether now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down, tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, one more time, tie me kangaroo down
