Unknown - Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport текст песни

spoken:)
There's an old Australian stockman lying dying,
And he gets himself up on to one elbow,
And he turns to his mates, who are gathered 'round him
And he says:
1 Watch me wallaby's feed, mate,
Watch me wallaby's feed
They're a dangerous breed, mate,
So watch me wallaby's feed
Altogether now:
(chorus:)
Tie Me Kangaroo Down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down
Altogther now:
2Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
Keep me cockatoo cool
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
Just keep me cockatoo cool
Altogether now:
3Take me koala back, Jack,
Take me koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac,**
So take me koala back
Altogether now:
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:
5 Mind me platypus duck, Bill,
Mind me platypus duck
Don't let him go running amok, Bill,
Mind me platypus duck
Altogether now:
6 Play your didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Keep playing 'till I shoot thro', Blue,
Play your didgeridoo
All together now:
(get progressively slower, quieter, almost reverent:)
7 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!
Altogether now
(ghostly singing, volume fading to nil)
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo downnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
(Long sigh)

** Some versions "He lives out in the outback, Mac,"
Some say a "Didgeridoo" is a musical instrument Some don't
