Early on one Christmas Day,
a Joey Kanga-roo
Was far from home and lost
in a great big zoo
Mummy, where's my mummy, they've
taken her a-way
We'll help you find your mummy
son, hop on the sleigh (RECITE)
VERSE:
Up beside the bag of toys,
little Joey hopped
But they had'nt gone far when
Santa stopped
Un-harnessed all the reindeer
and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming
in the sky
CHORUS:
Six white boomers, snow white
boomers
Racing Santa Claus through
the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white
boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Pretty soon old Santa began
to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off
to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey, feeling
quite OK
While those old man kangaroos
kept pulling on the sleigh
Joey said to Santa, Santa,
what about the toys
Aren't you giving some to
these girls and boys
They've all got their presents
son, we were here last night
This trip is an extra trip,
Joey's special flight
Soon the sleigh was flashing
past, right over Marble Bar
Slow down there, cried Santa,
it can't be far
Come up on my lap son, and
have a look around
There she is, that's mummy,
bounding up and down
Well that's the bestest Christmas
treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch
all snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa
headed northward from the sun
The only year the boomers
worked a double run
Boomers:
Large Kangaroos, so called because as they Jump they Boom!
