John Williamson - Golden Kangaroo lyrics

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
