Boomerang. It's all Wrong

Boomerang. It's all Wrong

 

You know I'm a rhymer

From over the sea

Throwing my boomerang

In circles. You see

 

I hear you all thinking

Is he really real

Or taking the piss

If so, what's the deal?

 

Our boomerangs come

With sticker removed

Which said 'Made in China'

Then aborigine grooved

 

The grooves are then filled

With mock aborigine art

And sold off as genuine

In tourist-type marts

 

This is all wrong

So bloody-well wrong

This is where true

Aboriginal art should belong

 

Oh, by the way

When circling our 'rangs

We engage in the sport

Of inter-air prangs

Remember Charlie and his splish splash Po?

Well I do a bit of splish-splashing with the girls myself. Look hard . See Thale and Lucy shakin' it up? You not looking hard enough. Is that Ruth and Do I see? Golly gosh Po! we gotta party going on. Pity Ruth won't see the vid. Seems she didn't check in. Maybe boomerangs not her thing?

I asked the video people to stay above me vitals in case the towel slipped.

And I end up with a bevy in my bath. How good is that. Some have all the luck hey?...

Po

Gosh! It's 60 years and I can still remember it almost word for word. Thankyou for bringing it all back

You probably didn't know his but different species of kangaroos produce different sounds. For instance:

Spanish reds go whop,...whop...whop

Charlie's variety go do-rong...do-rong (nothing to do with our Do incidentally)

Ones going down my street go boing...boing..

Ain't that interesting?
