Kangaroo
Go play in the long grass, baby,
Light you candle, burn you arm,
Kiss you Mummy, I love you Daddy,
Not to do me any harm.
Go play in the sunshine, darling,
Might you love someone like me?
Whatever next? Whatever after?
Not to ever set me free.
Your kangaroo suit ain't looking for,
Some way to get out through that door,
You stone, you fly,
You moan, you cry,
Believe in what and how and why.
Go play in the garden, loved one,
Bite you best friend, seal you fate,
Your friendship dies, what have you learned now?
Not to ever display your hate.
Go play in the coalshed, sweetheart,
You measuring stick, you got no line.
Saying what? Saying nothing.
Not to break this heart of mine.
Your kangaroo court ain't looking for,
Some way to open that trapdoor,
Love all, don't hate,
Above all, don't be late,
And pay your sugar-money, pay the rate.
