MY PAL SKIPPY (Eric Jupp)
Music: Eric Jupp Lyrics: Ted Roberts 1968
Intro: | | | | ,,,|
Verse 1:
()
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.
CHORUS:
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.
Verse 2 (shorter):
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.
