There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying

And he gets himself up onto one elbow, turns to his mates

Who are gathered 'round and he says



Watch me wallaby's feed, mate, watch me wallaby's feed

'Ey! they're a dangerous breed, mate, so watch me wallaby's feed



All together now - tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down



And keep me cockatoo cool, Curl, keep me cockatoo cool

Ah, don't go actin' the fool, Curl, just keep me cockatoo cool



All together now - tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down



And take me koala back, Jack, take me koala back

He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac, so take me koala back



All together now - tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down



And mind me platypus duck, Bill, mind me platypus duck

Ah, don't let him go runnin' amuck, Bill, just mind me platypus duck



All together now - tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down



And play your didgeridoo, Blue, play your didgeridoo

Uh, like, keep playin' till I shoot through, Blue, play your didgeridoo



All together now - tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down



And tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred, [hm-hm-hm] tan me hide when I'm dead

So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde and that's it hanging on the shed



All together now - tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down



And again now - tie me kangaroo d
