KANGAROO
(Terry Bradford + Stuart Day)
Well he used to have his picture on the dollar bill
But they tore up the paper, made a little brass pill
He lives out in the desert but he still gets killed
Poor old kangaroo
Kangaroo
Made in Australia
Merino got shorn and now he's gone
Never got a guernsey on the two dollar coin
Well we rode down the track on that old sheep's back
Now the shears don't click and they all got the sack
Kangaroo
Made in Australia
One dollar, two dollar, five dollar bill
Kangaroo on the barbeque
One dollar, two dollar, five dollar bill
If the redbacks don't get you the XXXX will...
They put him on the old red and white jet plane
Cut off his undercarriage but to his real shame
They made him an Aussie burger the American way
Poor old kangaroo
Kangaroo
Made in Australia
