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 a wedge-tail eagle?
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
"While eagle's flying 'round and 'round
I keep two feet firmly on the ground
Now I can't fly, but I'm telling you
I can run the pants off a kangaroo"

Ah, ba-da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
He can't fly, but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
(Ooh, ooh)

You can't loop the loop like a cockatoo
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
Swoop and toss like an albatross
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
"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"

Ah, ba-da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
He can't fly, but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

Well, a dingo came around one day
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
"Hi, there, Emu, wanna play?"
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
But the emu was too smart for him
(Ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Walked right up and kicked him in the shin

Ah, ba-da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
He can't fly, but I'm telling you
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

Well, the last time I saw Old Man Emu
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
He was chasing a female he knew
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-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"

Ah, ba-da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
She can't fly, but I'm telling you
She could run the pants off a kangaroo
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

Well, there is a moral to this ditty
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
Thrush can sing, but he ain't pretty
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-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 he said, "It's true"
(Oom-ba-da-diddle-da-da-da)
He can run the pants off a kangaroo
