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
