Facts:

This song was used briefly by the World Wrestling Federation (before they became the WWE) in 1986-87 as the ring "entrance music" for flash-in-the-pan Aussie wrestler Outback Jack. (sav-man)

The song was inspired by calypso music and in particular, "Hold 'Em Joe" by Harry Belafonte. (peterpuck9)

After becoming a big hit in England & Australia in 1961, the song reached #3 in the US in 1963 (peterpuck9)

Song Lyrics:

There's an old Australian stockman lying dying
And he gets himself up onto one elbow
And he turns to his mates who are gathered around
And he says:

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl
Keep me cockatoo cool
Don't go actin' the fool, Curl
Just keep me cockatoo cool

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

And take me koala back, Jack
Take me koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac
So take me koala back

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

Let me Aboes go loose, Lou
Let me Aboes go loose
They're of no further use, Lou
So let me Aboes go loose

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

And mind me platypus duck, Bill
Mind me platypus duck
Oh, don't let him go running amuck, Bill
Just mind me platypus duck

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

Play your didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Oh, like keep playing till I shoot through, Blue
Play your didgeridoo

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it hanging on the shed

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
(peterpuck9)
