Kangaroo Reincarnation Song chords by Fascinating Aida

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Eb
            Ab                    F
On the day I kick the bucket,
               Bb
it won't vex me in the least;
             Eb                                         Ab Eb
I shall pop my clogs with certain glee;
           Ab                     F7            Bbm     F7
For I know that I'll return in the form of a beast,
                 Ab                F7          Bb7     Eb
And I've chosen the animal I want to be;
                  Ab                   F         Bb7
For if I've got to come back a second time,
      Eb7                                 Ab
I think I'd rather be a kangaroo;
      Db                                     Ab
I quite agree a panda or a tiger would be grander,
                  Bb7                                   Eb7
But they'll either all have died out or be living in a zoo;
     Ab7                                          Db
If I chose to be a crocodile or 'gator,
          G7                                          Cm    F
My power would undoubtedly be far far greater,
      Bb                      F
But it would be a snag
            Bb
If I got turned into a bag;
      Eb7                           Ab
So I'd rather be a kangaroo.
                 Ab                           F               Bb7
So if I've got to return to this valley of tears,
     Eb7                                 Ab
I'd like to bounce about the bush all day;
     Db                                     Ab
As a pig, I'd just be pork on the prongs of someone's fork-
                Bb7                                   Eb7
If I were destined for the oven, I would be far from gay.
     Ab7                                          Db
As a rhino, I'd be hunted for my horn;
          G7                                          CM     F
As a pheasant, I'd be shot by someone frightf'lly nobly born;
     Bb                      F
As an insect, I'd be sprayed,
          Bb
As a pussycat, I'd be spayed
      Eb7                         Ab
So I'd rather be a kangaroo
                Ab                  F         Bb7
So when I shuffled off this mortal coil,
    Eb7                                 Ab
A marsupial would get my vote;
     Db                                     Ab
As a wildebeest, I'd hate not being able to migrate;
                Bb7                                   Eb7
As a mink, I'd doubtless end up as Ivana Trump's coat;
    Ab7                                          Db
As a butterfly I'd probably be collected
         G7                                          CM     F
As a gibbon or macaque, I'd be horribly vivisected
     Bb                       F
As an eagle, I'd be best,
         Bb
But then some berk would raid my nest,
      Eb7                           Ab
So I'd rather be a kangaroo
Bbm     Eb      Ab     Fm
Boing boing boing boing
Bbm     Eb      Ab
Bouncing underneath the gums
Bbm     Eb     Ab     Fm
Boing boing boing boing
Bb                                 Eb
Joeys sleeping in my tum
Ab        Bbm  Ab    C
Boing boing boing boing
Db                C            Fm
Eucalyptus, yum yum yum
Eb       Bbm      Ab     F7
Boing boing boing boing
Bb        Eb           Ab Eb Ab  Eb Ab Eb Ab
Australia here I come
