TIE ME KANGAROO DOWN, SPORT
Words & Music by Rolf Harris
====================================================================
An old Australian stockman was lying, dying.
So he gets himself up on the one elbow,
and he turns to his mates gathered round him,
and he says:
" Tie me Kangaroo down, Sport.
Tie me Kangarooo down.
