Loading...

[intro segment]
fellas – you feel like singing a chorus with me?
(the band cheer in agreement.)
there’s enthusiasm for you. hey look, i’ll give you a rough idea how it goes. it starts off with me going like this: one, two, a+one, two, three, four…

(harris’ wobble board starts playing.)

and you come in in e, paul
that’s it. and then altogether, fellas…
that’s nice, haha!

[spoken song+intro section]
there’s an old australian stockman, lying, dying…
ahh…
and he gets himself up onto one elbow
and he turns to his four mates who are gathered ’round
and he says:

[verse 1]
cut your hair once a year, boys
cut your hair once a year
if it covers your ear you can’t hear, boys
so cut your hair once a year
all together now!

[chorus]
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)
tie me kangaroo down, sport
(you must do that “oooh!” bit…)
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)
[spoken bridge]
ha, ha, ha! dear, oh dear… i’ve forgetten the words now
take care of me, make sure, look out after me…
keep goin’…
(laughter)
(oooh!)

(paul mccartney:) take care, look after me, [inaudible]

i’ll go again…

[verse 2]
don’t ill treat me pet dingo, ringo
don’t ill treat me pet dingo!
(sung in a liverpudlian accent:)they can’t understand your lingo, ringo…
so don’t ill treat me pet dingo
all together now!

[chorus]
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down

[verse 3]
i think george’s guitar’s on the blink – i think
george’s guitar’s on the blink
it shouldn’t go mm+nnga+mm+nnga, plink!
hey, hey – that’s really on the blink!
all together now!
[chorus]
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down

[verse 4]
prop me up by the wall, paul
prop me up by the wall
i’ll scream and cheer ’til i fall, paul
if you’ll prop me up by the wall…
all together now!

[chorus]
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)
(that’s where it should be – there: “oooh!”)
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)

[verse 5]
hey, keep the hits coming on john
keep the hits coming on (oooh!)
at least ’til after i’m gone, john
keep the hits coming on
all together now!
[chorus]
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)
tie me kangaroo down, sport
(i got it!)
tie me kangaroo down

give us a bit of did+i+did+i+did+i…
that’s it…

[verse 6]
and with his very last gasp he says:
tan me hide when death comes, chums
(rolf coughs a few times) oh dear…
tan me hide when death comes
so we tanned his hide when he died, clyde
and ringo’s got it on his drums!
all together now!

[chorus]
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down (oooh!)
tie me kangaroo down, sport
tie me kangaroo down!

[outro segment]
(laughter)
what a phony bunch of laughter that was. what about messing up that ending after all the rehearsal we did? at least once
(john lennon): you forgot the words didn’t you rolf?
at the beginning…
