I was lost in the wilderness, wondering which way to go
I heard the call of one lone voice guiding me on my way
and this is what it said to me:
Don’t ask what your kangaroo can do for you
Ask what you can do for your kangaroo
Your kangaroo is always strong, it helps when you don’t get along
inside its bag it’s safe and warm, no enemy can do you harm
your kangaroo is very strong, it’s always right and never wrong
just follow him and you will see delicious eucalyptus trees
Don’t ask what your kangaroo can do for you
Ask what you can do for your kangaroo
It jumps and hops where you must walk, decides and acts where you would talk
don’t you worry, with its power it let’s peace and freedom flower
Don’t ask what your kangaroo can do for you
Ask what you can do for your kangaroo
And when the day comes and you find there are some others of its kind
be assured its kicks and punches safe your eucalyptus lunches
Don’t ask what your kangaroo can do for you
Ask what you can do for your kangaroo
