Help! I’ve got a song stuck in my head. I must sing it out loud to get rid of it, so:
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tan me hide when I’m dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I’m dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that’s it hanging on the shed.
Ah the glories of Rolf Harris lol. My mum used to live in the land of Oz and she loved that song.
Good Grief! You poor thing…
Here’s another in that same vein.
Waltzin’ Matilda,
W-a-a-a-alzin’ Matilda,
You’ll go a Waltzin’ Matilda with me,
And we sang as we danced,
and somethingsomething on the billabong..
You’ll go a Waltzin’ Matilda with me…
I was going to go a waltzin, but somebody beat me to it.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he watched and waited ’til his billy boiled You’ll come a-waltzing matilda with me
A billy is a tin can, with a wire handle on top; you hang it over the fire to boil water.
Maybe this one is better:
Her eyes they shone like the diamond
You’d think she was queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulder
Tied up in a black velvet band
If Whose Line should ever come back, Barry can be part of the hilarity.
Isn’t “black velvet band” an Irish song?
now I have the Wiggles singing that stuck in my head…
OH MY GOD. My dad used to sing that song to us all the time when we were younger. I thought he made it up because he’s so weird. It’s really a song?
Ohhhhhh….aye-d-aye-d-aye-d-aye-d-
aye-d-aye-d-aye!
Tie me down kangaroo?
Why am I having visions of a kangroo dressed up in leather?
