Tony, this comes from "Fair Dinkum Songs" by John Williamson. OLD MAN EMU 1. Let me tell you of an interview with Old Man Emu He's got a beak and feathers an' things But the poor old fella ain't got no wings Aren't you jealous of the wedge-tail eagle? Dom ba da little da da da While the eagle's flyin' round an' round I keep my two feet firmly on the ground CHORUS 1: Ba da da doo dee ba doo doo doo, Boo da da doot doo doo doo I can't fly but I' telling you I can run the pants off a kangaroo CHORUS 1: Ba da da doo dee ba doo doo doo, Boo da da doot doo doo doo He can't fly but I'm telling you he can run the pants off a kangaroo. 2. Well he was the model for the fifty cents Oom ba da little da da da The designer should've had more sense Dom ba da little da da da If you take a look it'll prove to you I ran the pants off a kangaroo CHORUS 2: Doo dee ba doo doo doo.... Boo da da doot doo doo doo... Take a look it'll prove to you He can run the pants off a kangaroo... 3. You can't loop the loo like a cockatoo Oom ba da little da da da Swoop and toos like an albatross Oom ba da little da da da SPOKEN: You silly galah, I'm better by far Than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar They squeak and squawk and try to talk Why, me and them's like cheese and chalk CHORUS 3: Doo dee ba doo doo doo... Boo da da doot doo doo doo He can't fly but I'm tellin' you He can run the pants off a kangaroo. If you want the music, I can fax it to you - I'm assuming you're in Australia by your e-mail address - I'm in Perth. E-mail me if you want the chords: acormack@ozsupermalls.com.au Regards Anne
