Old Man Emu - ABC Kids
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 wedgetail eagle
Dom ba da little da da da
While the eagle's flying round and round
I keep my two feet firmly on the ground
I can't fly but I'm telling you
I can run the pants off a kangaroo
Doo dee ba doo doo doo
Boo doot doo doo doo
He can't fly but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well he was the model for the fifty cents
Oom ba da little da da da
The designer should have had more sense
Oom ba da little da da da
If you take a look
It'll prove to you
I ran the pants off that kangaroo
Doo dee ba doo doo doo
Boo doot doo doo
Take a look it'll prove to you
He can run the pants off the kangaroo
You can't loop the loop like a cockatoo
Oom ba da little da da da
Swoop and toss like an albatross
Oom ba da little da da da
You silly galah 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
Doo dee ba doo doo doo
Boo doot doo doo doo
He can't fly but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well the last time I saw old man emu
Oom ba da little da da da
He was chasing a female he knew
Oom ba da little da da da
As he shot past I heard him say
She can't fly but I'm telling you
She could run the pants off a kangaroo
Doo dee ba doo doo doo
Boo da da doot doo doo doo
She can't fly but I'm telling you
She can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well there is a moral to this ditty
Oom ba da little da da da
Thrush can sing but he ain't pretty
Oom ba da little da da da
Duck can swim but he can't sing
Nor can the eagle on the wing
Emu can't fly but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
Well the kookaburra laughed and said
It's true
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
