Old Man Emu - John Williamson
Written by：John Willia
Let me tell you of an interview with an old man Emu
He's got a beak and feathers and things
But the poor old fella ain't got no wings
Aren't you jealous of the wedge tailed eagle
Um ba da lip ida da da
While the eagle's flyin' round and round
I keep my two feet firmly on the ground
Now I can't fly but I'm tellin' you
I can run the pants off a kangaroo
Ba da doo doo
Da doo doo doo
Doo da do do
Doo doo
He can't fly but I'm tellin' you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well he was the model for the fifty cents
Um ba da lip ida da da
The designer should have had more sense
Um ba da lip ida da da
If you take a look it'll prove to you
Ha ha ha ha
I ran the pants off that kangaroo
Ba da doo doo
Da doo doo doo
Doo da do do
Doo doo
Take a look it'll prove to you
He ran the pants off the kangaroo
You can't loop the loop like a cockatoo
Um ba da lip ida da da
Swoop and toss like an albatross
Um ba da lip ida da da
You silly gallah
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 like cheese and chalk
Ba da doo doo da doo doo doo
Doo da do do doo doo
He can't fly but I'm tellin' you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well the last time I saw old man Emu
Um ba da lip ida da da
He was chasing a female he knew
Um ba da lip ida da da
As he shot past I heard him say
Hoo choo ah hoo choo ah hoo choo ah hoo choo
She can't fly but I'm tellin' you
She can run the pants off a kangaroo
Ba da doo doo
Da doo doo doo
Do da do do
Doo doo
She can't fly but I'm tellin' you
She can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well there is a moral to this ditty
Um ba ridgular da da
Brush can sing but he ain't pretty
Um ba ridgular da da
Duck can swim but he can't sing
Nor can eagle on the wing
And you can't fly but I'm telling you
You can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well the kookaburra laughed and he said it's true
Um ba ridgular da da
Ha ha ha ha
You can run the pants off a kangaroo
