[C]
[F] [C] Don't worry mate.
Let me tell [F] you of an [C] interview with an [D] old man [G] in [C] you.
He's got a beak and feathers and things but the [Em] poor old fella ain't got [C] no wings.
Aren't you jealous of the wedge-tailed eagle and buddley [D] tra da [G] da?
[C] While the eagles fly and round and round, I keep two feet firmly on the ground.
Now I can't fly but I'm telling you, I can run the pants off a kangaroo.
Doo doo, da da doo, doo doo doo [D] doo doo [G] doo.
[C] He can't fly but I'm telling you, he can run the pants off a kangaroo.
[F] [C]
[G] [C] Well he was the model for the 50 cents,
but [D] [G] [C] the designer should have had more sense.
But [G] [C] if you [F] take a look it'll prove to you, [C] I can run the pants off a kangaroo.
Doo doo, da da doo, doo doo [D] doo doo [G] doo doo.
[C] Take a look it'll prove to you, he can run the [G] pants off a [C] kangaroo.
[F] [C]
He can't loop the loop like a cockatoo,
[G] buddley tra da da, [C] swoop and toss like an albatross.
[G] buddley tra da [C]
da.
You silly galah, [F] I'm better by far than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar.
They squeak and squawk and try to talk, why me?
And them's won't [C] cheese and talk.
Doo [F] doo, [C] da da doo, doo doo [D] doo doo doo doo.
[G]
[C] Well he can't fly but I'm telling you, he can run the [G] pants off a [C] kangaroo.
[F] [C] [G] [C]
Last time I saw old Nanny, he was [D] [G]
[C] chasing a female.
[G] [C]
As [F] he shot past I heard him say,
she can't fly but I'm telling you, she can run the pants off a kangaroo.
[C] Doo doo, da da doo, doo doo doo [D] doo doo [G] doo.
[C] She can't fly but I'm telling you, she can run the [G] pants off a [C] kangaroo.
[F] [C]
Well there is a moral to this dizzy,
um baddley tra da da.
Thrush can sing but he ain't pretty, um baddley tra da da.
Duck can swim but he can't sing,
you're coming [D] eagle [G] on the [C] wing.
He can't fly but I'm telling you, he can run the pants off a kangaroo.
Well a cook a barrel of lamb and he said it's true.
