Rolf Harris — Tie Me Kangaroo Down Cha Cha

[Intro – dialogue] Rolf: What are you gonna sing for us tonight, Perot? Perot: Well, I thought I would... Sing a little, original, sort of Spanish/ Italian cha-cha-cha thing, that I was written myself... [Music starts] Rolf: That's nice. Let's hear it then... Perot: Alright Backing vocals: Ugh! Perot: What was that?! Rolf: What was what? Perot: That "ugh!" thing? Rolf: Oh, they always do that with cha-cha-chas... Now, come on Perot: Okay Backing vocals: Ugh! [Chorus – Perot singing] Tie me kangaroo down, cha-cha-cha Tie me kangaroo down – sport! Tie me kangaroo down, cha-cha-cha Tie me kangaroo... Down – cha-cha-cha! (Ugh!) [Bridge – dialogue] Rolf: Just a minute Perot, I thought you said this was original? Perot: Well, it is. I wrote it myself. I know – 'cos I was there when I writ it! Rolf: Well, let's hear a bit more of it then... Backing vocals: Cha-cha-cha! [Verse 1 – Perot singing] Keep me cockatoo cool, Carissima Keep me cockatoo cool – Curly! And mind me platypus too, Carissima Keep mе cockatoo Cool – cha-cha-cha! (Ugh) [Verse 2 – Perot singing] Take me koala bear back, Raccio Takе me koala bear back – Bluey! Take him twice round the track – and then back of course Take me koala bear Back – cha-cha-cha! (Ugh!) [Bridge – dialogue] Rolf: Just a minute, Perot. This is a straight pinch from 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport'... But you've lost all the feeling of the old Australian stockman lying, dying? Perot: I was just going to get to that bit... Rolf: Well... I'm sorry Backing vocals: Cha-cha-cha! [Verse 3 – Perot singing] Hide me head, when I'm dead, Jabolo Hide me head, when I'm dead – Fred! So we hid his head when he died, kid And where did you think that we hid it? Under the bed... Cha-cha-cha! [Chorus – Perot singing] Tie me kangaroo down, cha-cha-cha Tie me kangaroo down – sport! Tie me kangaroo down, cha-cha-cha Tie me kangaroo... Down – cha-cha-cha! (Cha-cha-cha!) (Ugh!) [Chorus – Rolf and Perot singing] Tie me kangaroo down, cha-cha-cha Tie me kangaroo down – sport! Tie me kangaroo down, cha-cha-cha Tie me kangaroo... Down – cha-cha-cha! (Ugh!)
