Hmm...think I know that version too, karen...!
Wouldn't involve doing something illegal to a wallaby, would it??!!
If not, then I'm certainly not singing it! Drunk or otherwise!!
Subject: Re: FAO bj26
Something along those lines anyway Paul (seem to remember a duck being in there as well)

Thanks, Karen, ok all together now:
There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying,
and he gets himself up on one elbow,
and he turns to his mates,
who are gathered 'round him and he says:
Watch me wallabys feed mate.
Watch me wallabys feed.
They're a dangerous breed mate.
So watch me wallabys feed.
Altogether now!
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
keep me cockatoo cool.
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
just keep me cockatoo cool.
Altogether now!
Take me koala back, Jack,
take me koala back.
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac,
so take me koala back.
Altogether now!
Let me Abos go loose, Lou, *
let me Abos go loose.
They're of no further use, Lou,
so let me Abos go loose.
Altogether now!
Mind me platypus duck, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Don't let him go running amok, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Altogether now!
Play your digeridoo, Blue,
play your digeridoo.
Keep playing 'til I shoot thro' Blue,
play your digerydoo.
Altogether now!
Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died Clyde,
(Spoken) And that's it hanging on the shed.
Altogether now!

OK ! Now you have me officially cringing.... :-[ :-/ :-/ :-/
That is why we sent Rolf over there guys ! :P
Oh, and the above verse, has over the course of the passing years, become highly (HIGHLY) politically incorrect, but I can remember us all singing along happily to it.... :o
Mind you that WAS in the 60s ! ;D ;D ;D

Have a look at another post of mine titled 'who else sang this'. we wandered into the same song on that but started to suggest replacement words for the offensive verse.
Perhaps you could suggest some more
