[C#]
[F#] [C#]
Let me tell you a woman he took you with an old man [G#] he knew
[C#] He's got a beak and feathers and things but the poor old fiddler ain't [C#] got no wings
Aren't you jealous of the witch-tailed eagle?
[G#] [C#] Well the eagle's flying round and round to keep him two feet firmly on the ground
Now I can't fly but I'm telling you I could run the pants off a kangaroo
[D#] [C#] He can't fly but I'm telling you he can run [G#] the pants off a [C#] kangaroo
Well he was the model for the 50 cents
[D#] [G#] The [C#] designer should have had more sense
Take a look it'll prove to you I ran the pants off that kangaroo
[D#] [C#] Take a look it'll prove to you he ran [G#] the pants off a [C#] kangaroo
You can't loop the loo like a cockatoo
[G#] [C#] Swoop and toss like an albatross
Silly galah I'm better by far than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar
They squeak and squawk and try and talk
Well I mean they're names like cheese and chalk
[D#] [G#] He can't fly but I'm telling you he can run the pants off a [C#] kangaroo
[G#] [C#]
Well a dingo came around one day
[D#] [G#] [C#] Hey [F#] there Emu you wanna [C#] play?
But the Emu was too smart for him
[D#] [G#] Walked right up and kicked him in the [C#] shin
[G#] He can't [F#] fly but I'm [C#] telling you he can run the pants off a dingo
Oh yeah but he had to kick you in the shin first
Well the last time I saw old man Emu
He was chasing [F#] a [C#] female he knew
As he shot past I heard him say
She can't fly but I'm telling you she can run the pants off a kangaroo
[D#] [G#] She can't [F#] fly but I'm telling [C#] you she can run the [G#] pants off a [C#] kangaroo
[G#] [C#]
Well there is a moral to this ditty
[D#] [C#] Crush can sing but he ain't pretty
[G#] [C#] Duck can swim but he can't sing
Nor can the [G#] eagle on [C#] the wing
Emu can't fly but I'm telling you he can run the pants [G#] off a [C#] kangaroo
[G#] [C#] Well the cook a bar of laugh and he said it's true
[G#] [C#]
[N]
