  INTRO (RECITE, TAP BEAT ON GUITAR):

  

  *   *             *              * 

  . . .  There's an old Australian stockman

  *      *             *                    *

  Lying, dying  And he gets himself up onto one elbow

         *                           *                  *          *

  And he turns to his mates, who are gathered round him . . and he says

  

  

  1                  4           5                  1

  Watch me wallaby's feed, mate, watch me wallaby's feed

  1                   4               5                  1

  They're a dangerous breed, mate, so watch me wallaby's feed (All together now)

  

  

  CHORUS:

  1               4           57              1

  1               4           57              1

  Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down (All together now)

  

  

  Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl, keep me cockatoo cool

  Don't go acting the fool, Curl, just keep me cockatoo cool

  

  Take me koala back, Jack, take me Koala back

  He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac, so take me koala back

  

  Let me Abos go loose, Lew, let me Abos go loose

  They're of no further use, Lew, so let me Abos go loose ...

  (Modern: substitute "mongoose" for "Abos", less derogatory!)

  

  Mind me platypus duck, Bill, mind me playtpus duck

  Don't let him go running amuck, Bill, mind me platypus duck

  

  Play your didgeridoo, Blue, play your didgeridoo

  Keep playing 'til I shoot through, Blue, play your didgeridoo

  

  Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred, Tan me hide when I'm dead

  So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
