Kenny The Kangaroo

(album: Songs From Alphabet Zoo - 1983)

Oh, my name is Kenny and I'm a kangaroo, garoo, garoo
I like to say G'day, g'day, g'day and how do you do
And if you were ever to ask me what I really love to do
I'd say boing around all day all over Australia

There's one thing about all baby kangaroo, garoo, garoos
Every one is a bouncing babe, their mums are bouncers too
And if you ever caught up with us to ask what we love to do
We'd say boing around all day all over Australia

The worst thing that can happen to a kangaroo, garoo
Is for him to lose his boing and his bounce, he doesn't know what to do
When mud goes hard around your feet and you're really stuck like glue
And you should be boinging and bouncing round Australia

We try to be brave as kangaroo, garoo, garoo, garoos
Till something creeps up behind us and they give us a scary BOO
With a glop and a glug I was out of the mud and out me roo skin too
And I boinged off into the night in old Australia

Oh, Australia is great if you're a kangaroo, garoo
There's plenty of space around for you to go boinging and bouncing through
The koalas and the kookaburras all go how do you do
And they wish they were boinging too all round Australia

Oh, my name is Kenny and I'm a kangaroo, garoo, garoo
I like to say G'day, g'day, g'day and how do you do
And if you were ever to ask me what I really love to do
I'd say boing around all day all over Australia
