[Verse 1]
[G]Wit[C]h an old .22 I went out fo[G]r a roo
To [C]feed up my old cattle [G]hound
My [C]chances were slim
[F]with the light growing dim
For [G]all I had left was one [C]round
I cranked up the heat
that re[G]sembled a jeep
And [C]drove to a tank on the [G]run
Where [C]roos come to drink,
[F]that's the best place I think,
A [G]man's almost certain for [C]one.
I lined up a doe in the [G]stance of a pro,
The [C]rifle held tight in my [G]fist.
I [C]then held my breath,
[F]for this roo it meant death,
I [G]squeezed on the trigger but [C]missed.
Then in my disgust
I threw [G]down in the dust
That [C]rifle and cursed at my [G]aim
I [C]came for a rue [F]and that's what I will do
The [G]old dog will eat just the [C]same[G][C]
I turned on the lights
all keyed [G]up for a fight
And [C]bailed up a buck [G]kangaroo
Then [C]armed with the stick,
[F]I tore into him quick
Never [G]dreaming just what he would [C]do
He grabbed at the stick
and then star[G]ted to kick
My [C]shirt was ripped open both [G]sides
And the [C]next thing I knew,
[F]as I sparred with that rue
I was [G]minus a pair of good [C]strides
He won every round,
I was [G]kicked to the ground
With [C]hoppers I thought were of [G]steel
Then [C]away I did shoot [F]like
a young bandicoot
With that [G]old kangaroo on my [C]heels
I climbed up the tree
and that [G]rue I could see
Went [C]bounding away through the [G]night
Then [C]back to the Jeep
[F]I did carefully creep
And passed [G]out on the seat like a [C]light
When I woke from my doze
I was [G]just about froze
And [C]aching all over to [G]boot
My [C]trousers and shirt are no [F]more,
that's a cert
I arrived home [G]in my birthday [C]suit
Now I've knocked around in
the [G]country and town
Cook [C]of eating and many, that's [G]true
But [C]none can compare
[F]with the scars that I bare
When I [G]pulled on that
fucked [C]kangaroo [G]you[C]
