A kangaroo came hopping by,
A heading for the zoo.
I said, “Let me get my pogo stick;
I’ll hop along with you.”
A kangaroo came hopping by,
Singing an Outback song.
I said, “Let me get my new song book,
And I will sing along.”
A kangaroo came hopping by,
Eating an ice cream cone.
I said, “Let me have a lick or two;
You shouldn’t eat alone.”

A kangaroo came hopping by,
That had an awful smell.
It must have eaten refried beans,
As far as I can tell.

On a pleasant sunny day
I said, “Let me bring a ball
Together we shall play.â€

With a big long tail
Every time she took a hop
There was an awful smell.

I heard a little sneeze
There was a baby in her pouch
Eating Limburger cheese!

A scarf wound round her neck
She waved a paw and called to me,
“I’m late for church, by heck!”

Chased by a Koala bear.

You’re wearing my underwear.â€

Wearing a great big smile.

And her name was Crocodile.

Wearing a purple hat.

And gave it to the cat.

A kangaroo came hopping by
at his tether’s end.
Big Red bounced right on up to me
And said, “I’m looking for my friends.â€

and they all went on ahead.â€

I might just hop home instead!â€
