A Kangaroo at the Barbecue

There’s a Kangaroo at the barbecue

She’s not supposed to be here

There’s a kangaroo at the barbecue

Snaffling snags and necking beer

She just hopped off with a chicken thigh

That thigh has never been so high

It was a bit of a shock, I’m not gonna lie

 

She’s a chargrill kleptomaniac

A high flying ‘roo with a view

Get Superman, call Brainiac

She’s bit off more than she can chew

Behold her poise in a marsupial crouch

Now she’s slipping a spare rib in her pouch

 

She’s a dippy Skippy

A social wannabe

She’s far too tall to be a wallaby

 

She’s unassumingly gregarious

Her facial expressions are hilarious

She’s not exactly vegetarious

 

There’s a kangaroo at the barbecue

And she’s not supposed to be here
