My Kangaroo

Welcome (welcome)
To the Australian (to the Australian)
Wildlife baby

Outback arvo's, chillin' with my roo
Writing some rhymes to this Philip Drummond tune
Longneck sipping, nothin' else to do
It's 39 degrees on this Friday afternoon

Barbeque raps south New South Wales
My weekend get-away tell a few tales
No phone calls, no new mail
Just me and my roo getting loose, getting stale

Flies buzzing round daily
Armed with a corkscrew hat from the 80's
Plus a dark blue singlet for the ladies
Waiting for my fine mate here to drink some beer (cheers)
Letting off bungas
Outback Jack here to cause some ruckus (all day)
Got a new track come hear it, fuckers!

Aw did I tell ya? My kangaroo loves it
So can ya tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down (tie me down)
I said tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down (tie me down)
'Cos when my roo first heard this tune
He jumped and jumped for days (nonstop)
Yeah he wouldn't stay still he just jumped
Until my stereo decided to break
Ah shit

Dur dur beat backyard
Rusty tractors and trashed out cars
Mountains of dead brown hacked up grass
Blame it on the Holden Commodore I had last (yeah)
Kookaburras laugh when I can't steer
When I'm runnin' out of spark in my last gear (rrm)
Rear wheel spinning (rrrr)
Just cleared the gum tree where the old koala lives
Cheeky little buggers

Now on my way back to my fibro shack
To light myself a smoke with a light brown match
Coughin' on the Marlboro tobacc
Scullin' down Jack
Sunset sessions cranking some tunes
Cookin' up food for my little kangaroo
But he won't stop jumping (put him on a two)
This time I try to tie him to the loo

Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down (tie me down)
I said tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down (tie me down)
'Cos when my roo first heard this tune
He jumped and jumped for days (nonstop)
Yeah he wouldn't stay still he just jumped
Until my stereo decided to break
Ah shit

Now for some peace and quiet
Some time to myself without beats and rhymes
I'll probably go to sleep because I'm heaps tired
But as I get into bed I hear him creeping by, sneaking past
Towards the stereo
I'm thinking to myself "Oh fuck now here we go"
Bang, stereo's on full blast
You can hear the cheap speaker cross the whole farm
He's jumping again, jumping hard, jumping fast
Breaking all my mugs and glasses
Speakers blaring, the cheeky bastard
Can't get enough of this beat
I'm starting to lose it
I'm yelling at my kangaroo to soothe the volume
Or I'll boot it (get outta here)
I'll prove it, but as I went to get my rope
Boom, I think my stereo's rooted

Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
I said tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
'Cos when my roo first heard this tune
He jumped and jumped for days
Yeah he wouldn't stay still he just jumped
Until my stereo decided to break
Shit
