Blue Joey Kangaroo
I know a bloke some people call Blue Joey Kangaroo
But those like me, who know him well, well we just call him Blue
He can sing, and dance, and spin a yarn, and play the didg'rydoo
A man of many talents is Blue Joey Kangaroo
Ch: Oh Gnarnjarrah, oh Gnarnjarrah
What a regular son-of-a-gun you are
A true born native son you are
Blue Joey Kangaroo
He carries mighty medicine from his homeland way outback
And in his life he’s wandered down many a winding track
He’s travelled this world over with a swag upon his back
And in case you hadn’t noticed, I’ll just point out that he’s black
Ch: As 1st
Now he's a streak; about as tall as a fully grown giraffe
And his sense of fun is just as big; he loves to make us laugh
When he comes on as 'Black Elvis' you will split your sides in half
When he comes by, then that’s the time to kill the fatted calf
Ch: Oh Gnarnjarrah, oh Gnarnjarrah
What a regular son-of-a-gun you are
A giant barrel of fun you are
Blue Joey Kangaroo
He’s a man who’s totally in tune with the spirit of this land
He knows its Dreamtime contours like the back of his own hand
He could probably tell the original site of a single grain of sand ...
Or at least a rock, wrapped up in a hide that’s marked with the owner’s brand!
Ch: As 1st
