Old Man Emu

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? Om-ba-da-lip-ba-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-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do 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 Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da The designer should have had more sense Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da Take a look, it'll prove to you I ran the pants off that kangaroo Ba-da-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do Take a look, it'll prove to you He ran the pants off the kangaroo You can't loop the loop like a cockatoo Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da Swoop and toss like an albatross Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da You silly galah, I'm better by far Than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar They squeak and squawk and try and talk Why me and them's like cheese and chalk Ba-da-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do He can't fly but I'm tellin' you He can run the pants off a kangaroo Well, the dingo came around one day Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da Hi, there Emu, you wanna play? Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da But the Emu was too smart for him Walked right up and kicked him in the shin Ba-da-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do He can't fly but I'm tellin' you He can run the pants off a dingo, too (Oh yeah, but he had to kick me in the shin first) Well, the last time I saw Old Man Emu Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da He was chasing a female he knew Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da As he shot past, I heard him say She can't fly but I'm tellin' you She can run the pants off a kangaroo Ba-da-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do 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 Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da Thrush can sing but he ain't pretty Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da Duck can swim but he can't sing Nor can the eagle on the wing Emu can't fly but I'm tellin' you He can run the pants off a kangaroo Well the Kookaburra laughed and he said it's true Om-ba-da-lip-ba-da-da Ha-ha-ha, ha, he can run the pants off a kangaroo Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha, oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
