Pat Boone Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport Lyrics

[Spoken-word intro]
Somewhere, out on the plains, north-east of Adelaide
There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying...
And he gets himself up onto one elbow
And he turns to his mates, all gathered around him
And he says:

[Verse 1]
Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed
Altogether now!
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down!

[Verse 2]
Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl
Keep me cockatoo cool
[Cockatoo bird-call sound effect plays]
Don't go acting thе fool, Curl
Just keep me cockatoo cool
Watch the birdie!

[Chorus]
Tiе me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
(Tie me kangaroo down)
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down!

[Verse 3]
Let me abos go loose, Lou
Let me abos go loose (oh!)
They're of no further use, Lou
So let me abos go loose
Just the abos sing!
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroos down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down (What a rhythm, Bill!)
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down!

[Verse 4]
Mind me platypus duck, Bill
Mind me platypus duck
Don't let him go runnin' amok, Bill
Just mind me platypus duck
Altogether, sing!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroos down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
(Tie me kangaroo down)
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down!

[Verse 5]
Play a didgeridoo, Blue
Play a didgeridoo
Keep playin' until I shoot through, Blue
Oh, play your didgeridoo
Feelin' weaker now...
[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroos down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
(Tie me kangaroo down)
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down!
Oh, and... P.S.:

[Verse 6]
Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So, we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And left it hangin' on the shed!
In memorium!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
I'm a comin', Mom!
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo doooown!
