Lyrics

I'm a jumping mama, a jumping kangaroo.
I've got a joey in my pouch, and we'll jump for you.
I'm a hippy hoppy mama, hippy hoppy kangaroo.
I'm happy to be going hippy hoppy for you.

Notes

The kangaroo appears in Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, "The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo", while the kangaroo is chased by a dingo, he gives Nqong the Big God's advice, that his legs and tail grew longest before five o'clock.

Kangaroos are well represented in films, television, books, toys and souvenirs around the world. Skippy the Bush Kangaroo was a popular 1960s Australian children's television series about a fictional pet kangaroo. Kangaroos are featured in the Rolf Harris song "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" and several Christmas carols.
