[C#] [F#] [C#] [G#]
[C#]
Let me tell you of an interview
with an [D#] old [G#] man he knew
[C#] He's got a beak [F#m] and feathers [C#] and things
but the poor old fellow ain't got no wings
Aren't you [F#] jealous of the [C#] witch tailed eagle
and bad-a [G#]-da-dada [C#]-dada
While the eagle's flying round and round
to keep it two feet firmly on the ground
Now I can't fly but I'm telling you
I can run the pants of a kangaroo
He [F#m] [C#]
can't fly but I'm telling you
If you run the pants off a kangaroo
[F#] [C#] Well
[F#] [C#]
he was the [F#m] model for the [C#] 50 cents
Um-ba-da-da-da [G#]-da [C#]-da
The designer should have had more sense
Um-ba-da-da-da-da-da
If you take [D#] a look, it'll prove to [G] you
Ha ha ha, I ran the pants off that [C#] kangaroo
Ba-da-do, [F#m] dee [C#]-do-da-dee-do-da-da-da
Take a look, it'll prove to you
If you run the pants off a kangaroo
[F#m]
[C#] You can't look alone like a cockatoo
Um-ba-da [G#]-da-da-da [C#]-da
Swoop and [F#] toss like [C#] an albatross
Um-ba-da-da-da-da-da
You still think [G#] I'm lyin'?
I'm better by far than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar
They squeak and squawk and [D#m] try to talk
Why me and them's like cheese and chalk
Ba [C#]-da-do, dee-do-da-dee-do-da-da
Dee-do-da-da-do-do-do
You can't [F#m] fly but I'm [C#] tellin' you
If you run the pants off a kangaroo
[F#m] [C#] Well
[F#] [C#]
the last [F#m] time I [C#] saw old man he knew
Um-ba-da-da [G#]-da-da-da
[C#] He was chasing a female he knew
Um-ba-da-da-da-da-da
As he shot past I heard him say
[N] She can't fly but I'm tellin' you
She can run the pants off a [Fm] kangaroo
[C#] Ba-da-do, dee-do-da-dee-do-da-da
She can't fly but I'm tellin' you
She can run the pants off a kangaroo
[F#] [C#] Well
[C#]
there is a moral to this pity
Um-ba-da-da [G#]-da-da [C#]-da
Mush can sing but he ain't pretty
Um-ba-da-da-da-da-da
Duck can swim but he can't sing
Nor can eagle on the wing
You can't fly but I'm tellin' you
He can run the [G#] pants off a [C#] kangaroo
[F#m] [C#] Well the cook up a laugh and he said it's true
Um-ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ha-ha, he can run the pants off a kangaroo
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha
