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 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 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 The designer should have had more sense If you take a look it'll prove to you (ha-ha-ha-ha), I ran the pants off that kangaroo Take a look, it'll prove to you, he ran the pants off the kangaroo You can't loop the loop like a cockatoo Swoop and toss like an albatross 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 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 He was chasing a female he knew 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 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 --- Old Man Emu - John Williamson
