Kangaroos by Peter Schickele Lyrics

[Introductory Poem]

When a check bounces, it's very bad news
The same is not true of kangaroos
Their bounce, their pouch, their nickname "Roo"
Is why we like them - if we do

There are some folks, it must be said
Who call them pests, and want them dead
When someone mentions the kangaroo
These folks say, "Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!"

Such hateful people, it seems to me
Should all be sent to Hungary
And made to stay
'Til they've confеssed
That they werе wrong
When they booed a pest
