作曲：John Williamson

Let me tell you of an interview with an old man emu

He's got a beak and feathers and things

But the poor old fella ain't got no wings

Aren't you jealous of the wedge-tail eagle

Dom ba da little da da da

While the eagle's flying round and round

I keep my two feet firmly on the ground

Now I can't fly but I'm telling you

I can run the pants off a kangaroo

But I doo doo doo doo doo doo

Boo doo doo doo doo

He can't fly but I'm telling you

He can run the pants off a kangaroo

Well he was the model for the fifty cents

Oom ba da little da da da

The designer should have had more sense

Oom ba da little da da da

If you take a look it'll prove to you

Ha ha ha ha

I ran the pants off that kangaroo

But I doo doo doo doo doo

Boo doo doo doo

Take a look it'll prove to you

He can run the pants off the kangaroo

You can't loop the loop like a cockatoo

Oom ba da little da da da

Swoop and toss like an albatross

Oom ba da little da da da

You silly galah I'm better by far

Than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar

They squeak and squawk and try to talk

Why me and them's like cheese and chalk

But I doo doo doo doo doo

Boo doo doo doo doo

He can't fly but I'm telling you

He can run the pants off a kangaroo

Well the last time I saw old man emu

Oom ba da little da da da

He was chasing a female he knew

Oom ba da little da da da

As he shot past I heard him say

Haicho haicho haicho haicho

She can't fly but I'm telling you

She could run the pants off a kangaroo

But I doo dee doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo

She can't fly but I'm telling you

She can run the pants off a kangaroo

Well there is a moral to this ditty

Oom ba da little da da da

Thrush can sing but he ain't pretty

Oom ba da little da da da

Duck can swim but he can't sing

Nor can the eagle on the wing

Emu can't fly but I'm telling you

He can run the pants off a kangaroo

Well the kookaburra laughed and said

It's true oom ba da little da da da

Ha ha ha ha hah hoo

He can run the pants off a kangaroo

Ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha
