Key: C
C
Early on one Christmas day
F C
A joey kangaroo
C
Was far from home and lost
D7 G7
In a great, big zoo
C
Mommy....where's my mommy?
F C
They've taken her away
N.C.
We'll help you find your mommy, son
N.C.
Hop up on the sleigh
C
So up inside the bag of toys
F C
Little joey hopped
C D7 G7
But they hadn't gone far when Santa stopped
C
Unharnessed all the reindeer
F C
And joey wondered why
C G7 C
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky
N.C.
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
C D7 G7
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
N.C. C
On his Australian run
C F C
Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat
C D7 G7
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
C
Into one popped joey
F C
Feeling quite okay
C G7 C
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh
Hey!
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
C D7 G7
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
N.C. C
On his Australian run
C F C
Then joey said to Santa, "Santa, what about the toys?
C D7 G7
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys?"
C
"Well, they've all had their presents, sonny
F C
We were here last night"
C
This trip is an extra trip
G7 C
Joey's special flight
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
C D7 G7
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
N.C. C
On his Australian run
C
Soon the sleigh was flashing past
F C
Right over Marble Bar
C
"Slow down there!" cried Santa
D7 G7
"It can't be far
C
Hop up on my lap here, son
F C
And have a look around"
N.C.
"There, there she is!
N.C.
That's mommy! bounding up and down!"
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
C D7 G7
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
N.C. C
On his Australian run
C F C
Well, that's the bestest Christmas treat that joey ever had
C D7 G7
Curled up in mother's pouch, feeling snug and glad
C F C
The last they saw was Santa heading Northwards from the sun
C G7 C
The only year the boomers worked a double run
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
C D7 G7
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
C
Six white boomers
F C
Snow white boomers
N.C. C
On his Australian run
