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..

Take a look it'll prove to you he can run the pants off the kangaroo.

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"

Ba da da 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 the last time i saw old man emu - oom ba da little da da da

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

She could run the pants off a kangaroo". -

Ba da da doo dee ba doo doo doo doo dee ba doo doo doo...boo da da doot doo doo doo

She can't fly but i'm telling you she can run the pants off a kangaroo

Well there is a moral to this ditty - oom ba da little da da da

Thrush can sing but he ain't pretty - oom ba da little da da da

Duck can swim but he can't sing nor can the eagle on the wing

Emu can't fly but i'm telling you he can run the pants off a kangaroo.

Well the kookaburra laughed and said "it's true oom ba da little da da da

Ha ha ha ha hah hoo he can run the pants off a kangaroo"
