Spoken Introduction:
There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying. He gets himself up on one elbow, turns to his mates, who are gathered round, and he says:

------------------------------

Watch me wallaby's feed, mate, watch me wallaby's feed.
They're a dangerous breed, mate, so watch me wallaby's feed.
All together now!

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.
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
Keep me cockatoo cool.
All together now!

Tie me kangaroo down, sport,

Take me koala back, Jack,

He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac,
So take me koala back.
All together now!

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,

So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde,
(spoken)And that's it hanging on the shed.
All together now!
