• Old Man Emu
    John Williamson
  • 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-tail eagle?" - dom ba da little da da da
  • (Spoken in tempo) "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 da da 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 da da doot doo doo..

  • 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"

  • 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
