Come on and hop, hop,
Come on and do the Kangaroo Hop, hop,
It’s the dance for me and you
If you’re over 80 you can waltz a little while
But hopping all around the room’s
The very latest style
Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed
They’re a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed
Altogether now!
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
RIP Rolf Harris, died 10th May this year.
I’m not sure what I mean by RIP.
In play:
Oh, we’re off to see the Wild West Show,
The elephant and the kangaroo-oo.
So, never mind the weather
As long as we’re together,
We’re off to see the Wild West Show!
I went to the Animal Fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair
So the big baboon one night in June
He married them and very soon
They went upon their aba-daba-Honeymoon
It was the dark of the moon
On the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin’ logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin’ hogs
We was headin’ for bear
On 'I-1-0
'Bout a mile out Shakey Town
I says, Pig Pen this here’s the Rubber Duck
And I’m about to put the hammer down
It was the blackest night
There was no moon in sight
You know the stars ain’t shinin’
Cause the sky’s too tight
I heard the scarey wind
I seen some ugly trees
There was a werewolf honkin’
'Long the side of me
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
Trees. Paul Robeson
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole, drunk every Friday
Eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows
They’re fast but they’re lazy, and sleep in green meadows
They say it’s all happening at the zoo.
I was sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour
Yeah, riding high on top of the world
It happened, suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams fall apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose that precious love you need
To guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening
Call out the instigators
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here
And you know it’s right
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it’s done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
Burn down the mission
If we’re gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Ah, watch out
You might get what you’re after
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger
I’m an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight
Wait 'til the party’s over
Hold tight
We’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out the ground now
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
