How would you like to find a friend that's ever-true?
Well a kangaroo could be the perfect pal for you.
Everyone ought to have a kangaroo or two - 
'Though it's not a very common thing to do-do-do.
Skippy is my best friend, although I like white mice
And a hippopotamus is really very nice.
Elephants may be popular in Timbuktu,
But I'd rather have a kangaroo.

She has a good pouch for minding
All the treasures I'm finding,
But if I overload her she gets hopping mad.
And every night in her pocket,
When I help her unlock it,
There are things we'd forgotten that she ever had.

So would you like to find a friend that's ever-true,
Well, a kangaroo could be the very one for you.
Skippy's a real good pal, the best I ever knew:
She's a real Australian kangaroo-roo-roo.
She's a real Australian kangaroo.

[Instrumental to first four lines of the verse]
Skippy is my best friend, although I like white mice
And a hippopotamus is really very nice.
Elephants may be popular in Timbuktu,
But I'd rather have a kangaroo.

She has a good pouch for minding
All the treasures I'm finding,
But if I overload her she gets hopping mad.
And every night in her pocket,
When I help her unlock it,
There are things we'd forgotten that she ever had.

So, would you like to find a friend that's ever-true?
Well a kangaroo could be the very one for you.
Skippy's a real good pal, the best I ever knew:
She's a real Australian kangaroo-roo-roo.
She's a real Australian kangaroo.

Coda:
A real Australian kangaroo.
                       ,,,. [Stop]
A real Australian kangaroo.
