Ride On A Kangaroo
Harrell 1986

Intro

F                                C
There is a game that I like to play, 
           G                                    G7
 I can travel the world in my own way

        F                                    C  
If I think there's a place that's worth a look
              G                            G7
 first I read all about it in a book

        F                        C                        G                                        G7
Then I'll decide if I'd like to go, but I can't leave home so I pretend, you know..

     F                            C                                    G                G7        C
I ride first class from my own couch, this time I'll tour Australia in a pouch!

I'm going to ride a a kangaroo, hitch-hike on a boomer

I'm a rider with a room now can't you tell,

                F                        G                C
That my transportation is a large marsupial

        F                                C
The land down under is a continent and nation

            G                    G7
With sugarcane and large sheep stations

            F                        C                            G                  G7    C
If it's summer here, it's winter there so we better bring long underwear

The bush and the outback are great to see

G                                                G7
Dingo sleeping 'neath an old gum tree

Kookaburras and koalas too, wave to me and my kangaroo

It's time to get back home, time to get back to my couch

Oh, tell me how can I leave this pouch and find my way?

    F                        G                    C
I'll just pretend that I was a boomerang!
