[Verse 1]
[C]Let me tell you of an [F]inter[C]view
with an Old Man [D]E m[G]u
[C]He's got a beak and [F]feathers and [C]things,
but the poor old fella ain't [G]got no [C]wings
"Aren't you jealous of the [F]wedge-tail [C]eagle?"
dom ba da little da [D]da [G]da
"While the [C]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"

[Chorus 1]
B'dahdle [C]doo doo dod[F]itl [C]doo
doodlelit doo [D]doo [G]doo
[C]He can't fly, but I'm [F]telling [C]you,
he can run the pants off a [G]kanga[C]roo
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
Well he [C]was the model for the [F]fifty [C]cents
oom ba da little da [D]da [G]da
The de[C]signer should have [F]had more [C]sense
Oom ba da little da [G]da [C]da
If you take a look, it’ll prove to you,
I ran the pants off that kangaroo.

[Chorus 2]
B'dahdle [C]doo doo dod[F]itl [C]doo

[Verse 3]
You can’t [C]loop the loop like a [F]cocka[C]too
Ooom ba da little da [D]da [G]da
[C]Swoop and toss like an [F]alba[C]tross
Oom ba da little da [G]da [C]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”

[Chorus 3]
B'dahdle [C]doo doo dod[F]itl [C]doo

Ooom ba da little da [D]da [G]da
[C]"Hey there Emu, [F]you wanna [C]play?"
Ooom ba da little da [G]da [C]da
But the Emu was too smart for him...
He walked right up and kicked in the shin!

[Chorus 4]
B'dahdle [C]doo doo dod[F]itl [C]doo

Ooom ba da little da [D]da [G]da
[C]He was chasing a [F]female [C]he knew
Ooom ba da little da [G]da [C]da
As he shot past I for [F]heard him [C]say
“She can’t fly, but I’m telling you
She could run the pants off a kangaroo”.

[Chorus 5]
B'dahdle [C]doo doo dod[F]itl [C]doo

Oom ba da little da [G]da [C]da
[C]Duck can swim, but [F]he can’t [C]sing,
nor can the eagle [G]on the [C]wing

he can run the pants off a [G]kanga[C]roo
