Lyrics
CHORUS
Kangaroo hop (bup she wup)
Emu run (diddely dum)
Crocodile Glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
Kookaburra sing (ding a ling)
Blowfly fly (me o mi)
Mister Crocodile glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
No No No – at Christmas
I tell you what, it’s very hot
So why don’t you jump into
A swimming pool, it’ll be so cool
And swim to the end, turn around
Then back again, so easy
CHORUS
Yellow sun, river run
Burning land, desert sand
If only rain would come again
It would be I'm sure you would agree
The perfect gift for Christmas
INSTRUMENTAL
LAST CHORUS
Kangaroo hop (bup she wup)
Emu run (diddely dum)
Crocodile glide (you better hide)
You don’t wanna be in his inside
Kookaburra sing (ding a ling)
Blowfly fly (me o mi)
Mister Crocodile glide (you better hide)
Would you like to be in his inside?

Are you sure you wouldn’t like to be in his inside?
No we don’t wanna be in his inside!

Lyrics
CHORUS
Sun comes up wake up it’s Christmas
Don’t sleep in get out of bed
Magpies sing wake up it’s Christmas
Welcome in the Christmas Day
Come with me, and you will see
There are so many gifts, on the Christmas tree
There’s one for you, and one for me
Another for Jack and one for Jamie-Lee
CHORUS
Over the hill, the moon hangs still
The earth is asleep, waiting until
The stars begin to fade, with the coming of the dawn
Kookaburras sing, at the break of the morn
CHORUS
Join the throng, and sing this song
Sing it loud and clear, you can’t go wrong
Now is the time, to spread good cheer
On Christmas Day, and all through the year
CHORUS (repeated)
ENDING
Welcome in the Christmas Day
Welcome in the Christmas Day
Magpie
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
The magpie has such a melodious voice and
Sings a melodious song
Through summer and autumn, winter and springtime
Morning then all the day long...just
Singing her song
Beetles and earthworms she likes to eat
Spiders and frogs and snails
Pecking the ground and strutting around
With the cheeky little willy wagtails
CHORUS
Her plumage is black with splashes of white
Her eyes are gold and brown
She fluffs up her feathers, carolls aloud
Protecting her piece of ground
CHORUS
September will come and she'll build her nest
High in a tall gum tree
With sticks and with grass and bark and we'll wonder
How many chicks there will be
The magpie has such a melodious voice and
Sings a melodious song
Through summer and autumn, winter and springtime
Morning then all the day long...just
Singing her, singing her, singing her song
The Song About Captain Cook

Lyrics
In Marton town not far from the sea
There was a young boy who grew up to be
A Yorkshire man in every way
From Whitby town to Robin Hood's Bay
At the age of 18, a labourer's son
Fit and strong and six foot one
He dreamed of a life on the wide open sea
And knew that soon that's where he would be
CHORUS
He sailed from Plymouth away from England
Cape Horn, Tahiti then Botany Bay
On the good ship Endeavour and onto where ever
The coast of Australia showed him the way
From master to captain he was just 41
Saw planet Venus transit the sun
He sailed to New Zealand as Tasman had done
Then Terra Australis the land of the sun
CHORUS
In 1770 the 11th of June
On the Great Barrier Reef by the light of the moon
The Endeavour she crashed on the rocks on the sand
The captain said we must put her to land
When the ship was repaired they set off again
Along the coast of Cape York no one knew when
How long it would be, how much further to roam
They longed for the sight of their far distant home
CHORUS (repeat)
They'd sailed from Plymouth away from England
Cape Horn, Tahiti then Botany Bay
On the good ship Endeavour and onto where ever
The coast of Australia showed them the way
Come Together (Stand Up Tall)
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
CHORUS
Stand together, stand up tall
We are different and yet the same
We’re curly haired ones, black and white ones
Red and yellow ones, young and old ones – so
Come together, stand up tall
We are different and yet the same.
Two hundred years – not so long ago when
Black men walked the land
Across the desert sand
White men came and stayed
Black men they have paid.
CHORUS
Weep for the mothers, cry for the children
A stolen generation are they
Come sister and brother look after each other
We can give what we are and gain
Here we all are – different as can be
And if you a stranger be
From far across the sea
Welcome to this land
Reach out and take my hand
CHORUS

Kangaroo, kangaroo - boing boing
Can I stay and talk with you? Boing boing.
He said, ‘I’d love to stay but must be on my way,
But you can be sure that I’ll be back some day.’
Boing boing boing boing boing boing boing.
Koala Bear, Koala Bear – scpt, scpt, scpt, scpt

Kookaburra, Kookaburra – ha, ha, ha, ha
Laugh today, laugh tomorrow – ha, ha, ha, ha.
Sneaky Snake, Sneaky Snake – ss, ss, ss, ss
Talk to me for goodness sake! – ss, ss, ss, ss.
Mother Hen, Mother Hen – cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck,
Consider me as your friend - cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck.

Lyrics
O little Koala Koala Koala Ko
Up in the eucalypt eucalypt eucalypt tree
Why do you sleep all day sleep all day
How can this be
Koala wake up time for some tea.
Fresh gum leaves juicy o juicy as juicy can be
Fresh from the eucalypt eucalypt eucalypt tree
O little Koala Koala Koala Ko
Did you know that
The children all love you so
Now then its K and then O and then A and then L
And then it’s A if Koala’s the word you want to spell
You’re not a bear even though everyone thinks it’s so
I think you’re the sweetest thing that I know
And did you know that the children all love you so
Koala Koala Ko

Lyrics
Ping pong ball in the vegemite
Take a look and see, see if I’m right
Chorus
Made ya look ya dirty chook
Made ya look ya dirty chook
Big fat frog under the bed
One little hop he’s sitting on your head.
Chorus
Red back spider combing his hair
Watching playschool, sitting on a chair
Chorus
Pink kangaroo in the apricot tree
You can’t really miss him he’s easy to see.

Lyrics
39 in the shade
Take a glass lemonade
Fill it up icy cold
Thirsty weather so down she goes
Down the beach after school
Cross the road swimming pool
41 in the sun
Christmas holidays just begun
CHORUS
Australia in the summertime
Australia where the weather’s fine
Australia of the yellow fields and
Bluest of skies
Christmas Day on the beach
Lots of noise lots to eat
Happy cries all around
Red bikinis and golden sands
CHORUS
From the north to the south
From the east to the west
From Bunbury to Bundaberg
From Botany Bay to the Coral Sea
From the Southern Ocean
You can hear them sing
La la la la la…
CHORUS – Hooray!
All Good Things

Lyrics
And when the moon glows on clear summer evenings
Stars shine far away
And Mother Earth is still and sleeping
Rest now until the day
All the birds in slumber
No magpie sings her song
And all the children sleep and dream
Peace be still peace be still
And when the sun rises over the mountains
And dances on the ocean waves
And kookaburras laugh in the gum trees
There’s hope again with every new day
All the birds are singing
Eternal harmonies
And all across this ancient land
We give our thanks for all good things
For all good things
Juicy Juicy Green Grass

Lyrics
Juicy juicy green grass
Where have you gone?
Will you come back?
Juicy juicy green grass
Summer’s been so dry
Turned you into brown
Will you come back?
Juicy juicy green grass
I’m so hungry now my tummy’s rumbling around
I’d better take a rest I’d better go and lie down
I’ve never been so hungry, I’ve never been so hungry
I’ve never been so hungry before
Juicy juicy green grass
How I love to chew you
So will you come back
Juicy juicy green grass
I really really need you
For breakfast lunch and tea
So will you come back
Juicy juicy green grass
They Got It Right Vegemite
Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon
Lyrics
In 1923 a young chemist called Dr Cyril P Callister, developed a smooth spreadable vegetable paste from brewers yeast, with lots of Vitamin B in it. It tasted unusual, but good. And he thought, “I cannot waste this appealing taste"...
So a prize was offered of fifty pounds
To find a name a name that sounds
Fresh unique, and easy to remember
Any time of year winter or December
Don’t know who it was but they got it right
Came up with the name Vegemite
I was talking to a friend just the other day
We took a little walk he had a lot to say
About the 50 pounds and he did claim
Who won the competition and gave it the name
Whoever it was they got it right
Came up with the name, Vegemite
For many years now it’s been the national dish
All who like it think it’s delish
But if you haven’t tried some, take my advice
Cos on a piece of toast it’s very very nice
Whoever it was they got it right
Came up with the name, Vegemite
They got it right, Vegemite
But...some find the taste a bit of a drama
A famous one was Barrack Obama
He tried some but, just had to admit
He did not like it, one little bit

CHORUS
Exterminate Exterminate Exterminate Exterminate
Exterminate all blowflies, exterminate all blowflies
Hit ‘em with the flyspray
Pretty soon they go away
Every summer they come around
Making with the zz zz zz sounds
Messing up your barbecue, hanging round your swimming pool
20,000 million of them zzzing around
CHORUS
When you’re eating pasties or pies
Nothing could be worse than blowflies
Zooming in from north and south, hovering around your mouth
Looking for a place to sit right upon your nose
And when you go to bed it’s hard to get some rest
‘Cos in a little while there comes a little pest
Zzzing here and zzzing there and zzzing here and zzzing there and
Zzzz – thwack
CHORUS
Exterminate exterminate exterminate exterminate zzz – thwack
Exterminate exterminate exterminate exterminate Zzzz – thwack
Exterminate exterminate exterminate exterminate Zzzzzzzzz- thwack
Exterminate…
