Early on one Christmas Eve, a joey kangaroo
G E G C D E C D E C G
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo.
(THIS LINE SPOKEN)
«Mummy! (Sniff) Where’s my Mummy? (Sniff) They’ve taken her away!»
(Sound of a triumphal horn and the clopping of oversized reindeer hooves)
(THIS LINE SPOKEN)
«We’ll help you find your Mummy, son!» (Clop, clop) «Hop up on the sleigh!»
C C C C G G G A A F A G
Up beside the bag of toys little Joey hopped;
E G C D E C D E C G
But they hadn’t gone far when Santa stopped,
G C C C C G G C A A F A G
Unharnessed all the reindeer, and Joey wondered why—
C C C D E G D F E D C
Then he heard a far-off booming in the sky.
(RHYTHMIC «BOOMS», SLOWLY GETTING STRONGER UNTIL THEY VIBRATE YOUR SPEAKERS)
CHORUS:
hi
C C E G C F-A A G
Six white boomers, snow-white boomers,
E G C D E C D E C G
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun!
hi
C C E G C F-A A G
Six white boomers, snow-white boomers—
C C D E D C
(CLAP!) On his Australian run.
(THIS VERSE SUNG THE SAME AS VERSE #2)
Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat;
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet.
Into one hopped Joey, feeling quite okay,
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh.
CHORUS
(THIS VERSE ENTIRELY SPOKEN)
Joey said, «Hey, Santa — what about the toys?
Aren’t you going to give some to these girls and boys?»
«Why, they’ve all got their presents, son — we were here last night.
This here trip’s an extra trip — Joey’s special flight!»
CHORUS
(FIRST LINE SUNG; REST OF VERSE SPOKEN)
Soon the sleigh was flashing past right over Marble Bar.
«Slow down, there!» cried Santa. «It can’t be far.
Come up on my lap here, son, and have a look around.»
«There she is! That’s Mummy — bounding up and down!»
CHORUS
(THIS VERSE SUNG SAME AS VERSE #2)
Well, that’s the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had:
Curled up in Mother’s pouch, all snug and glad.
The last he saw was Santa heading northwards from the sun—
The only year the boomers worked a double run!
