 SPOKEN: There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying.  He gets himself up
 onto one elbow and 'e turns to his mates, who are all gathered around and 'e says:


 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

 Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
 Keep me cockatoo cool
 Ah, don't go acting the fool, Curl
 Just keep me cockatoo cool
 Altogether now!

 (CHORUS)

 'n' take me koala back, Jack
 Take me koala back
 He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac
 So take me koala back
 Altogether now!

 (CHORUS)

 Let me abos go loose, Lew
 Let me abos go loose
 They're of no further use, Lew
 So let me abos go loose
 Altogether now!

 (CHORUS)

 And mind me platypus duck, Bill
 Mind me platypus duck
 Ah, don't let 'im go running amok, Bill
 Just mind me platypus duck
 Altogether now!

 (CHORUS)

 Play your didgeridoo, Blue
 Play your didgeridoo
 Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot thru, Blue
 Play your didgeridoo
 Altogether now!

 (CHORUS)

 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 that's it hangin' on the shed!!
 Altogether now!

 (CHORUS)
