John Williamson - Old Man Emu Lyrics
Let me tell you of an interview with an Old Man EmuHe's got a beak and feathers and thingsBut the poor old fella ain't got no wingsAren't you jealous of the wedge-tailed eagle - Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-daWhile the eagle's flyin' round and round I keep my two feet firmly on the groundNow I can't fly but I'm tellin' you, I can run the pants off a kangarooBa-da-doo-doo, da-doo-doo-doo, doo-da-do-do, doo-dooHe can't fly but I'm tellin' you, he can run the pants off a kangarooWell he was the model for the fifty cents - Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-daThe designer should have had more sense - Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-daIf you take a look it'll prove to you (ha-ha-ha-ha), I ran the pants off that kangarooBa-da-doo-doo, da-doo-doo-doo, doo-da-do-do, doo-dooTake a look, it'll prove to you, he ran the pants off the kangarooYou can't loop the loop like a *****atoo - Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-daSwoop and toss like an albatross - Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-daYou silly gallah, I'm better by far, than a white *****atoo or a budgerigarThey squeak and squawk and try to talk, why me and them's like cheese and chalkBa-da-doo-doo, da-doo-doo-doo, doo-da-do-do, doo-dooHe can't fly but I'm tellin' you, he can run the pants off a kangarooWell the last time I saw Old Man Emu - Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-daHe was chasing a female he knew- Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-daAs he shot past I heard him sayHoo-choo-ah-hoo-choo-ah-hoo-choo-ah-hoo-chooShe can't fly but I'm tellin' you, she can run the pants off a kangarooBa-da-doo-doo, da-doo-doo-doo, do-da-do-do, doo-dooShe can't fly but I'm tellin' you, she can run the pants off a kangarooWell there is a moral to this ditty - Um-ba-da-lip-ida-da-da-acapo
