When the pioneers arrived in Australia long ago
Father Christmas had a problem so they say
Coz his reindeer couldn't go where there wasn't any snow
and the outback was no place to drive a sleigh So the children living here couldn't get their Christmas cheer
'til someone from the bush could show the way
Then a Golden Kangaroo volunteered to get them through
So the kids could get their toys on Christmas day Oh the Golden Kangaroo, knew exactly what to do
And he said to Santa, "Come I'll show the way" And he sang this little song as he hopped the billabong
Boing, boing, boing, boing
The Golden Kangaroo will show the way
Show the way, show the way
Oh the Golden Kangaroo will show the way So the Golden Kangaroo got the children's presents through
Where Santa and his reindeer couldn't go
And he's done it all these years since those early pioneers
First received their gifts long ago Now when December comes to Australia's sunny shore
Father Christmas makes a very special call
To the Golden Kangaroo who bring gifts to me and you
And a real Australian Christmas to us all Oh the Golden Kangaroo, he's an Aussie through and through
He's a real Australian hero to us all And he sang this little song as he hopped the billabong
Boing, boing, boing, boing
The Golden Kangaroo will show the way
Show the way, show the way
Oh the Golden Kangaroo will show the way Show the way, Christmas Day
Oh the Golden Kangaroo will show the way
