about

This is a blues/jump/jive track in the style of Louie Jordan, but with a very Aussie "Hokey-Pokey" twist! Loosen up, smile, grab your partner and get into it!

lyrics

I went out to the scrub, back of beyond
Out in the bush
If things don't roll out there its simple
they give 'em a push
and when they party they go over the top
doin' a dance called the Kangaroo Hop

You put your little arms out just like a roo,
shake ya tail at the ground, turn around
lift up your nose and sniff the air
shrug your shoulders like you don't care
bend ya knees and jump till you drop
everybody's doing the Kangaroo Hop!

A cute little kangaroo comes up ta me and says
"how about you and me go back to my pouch for a little eucalyptus oil?"
well ma legs go hollow but of course I follow and
before ya know it we got a cupla joeys
down at Frogs Hollow
where the barramundi beer party never stops
and everybody's doing the Kangaroo Hop!
