Jump, jump, Kangaroo Brown,
Jump, jump, off to town.
Jump, jump, up hill and down,
Jump, jump, Kangaroo Brown.
Jump, jump, jump
Goes the big kangaroo,
I thought there was one,
But I see there are two!
The mother takes her young one
Along in a pouch,
Where he can nap,
Like a child on a couch.
JUMP, JUMP, JUMP!
The brown kangaroo is very funny.
She leaps, and runs, and hops like a bunny.
And on her stomache is a pocket so-o wide,
Her baby can jump in and go for a ride.
--Geocities: Storytime
Said the kind kangaroo, "What can I do?
If I had a cradle, I'd rock it.
But my baby is small, so I think after all,
I'll carry him round in my pocket!"
--KIDSPARKZ
Hop, hop, hop, kangaroo
Hop, hop, hop, kangaroo
Hop, hop, hop, kangaroo
Hopping around Australia.
Baby in a pocket safe and snug
Baby in a pocket safe and snug
Baby in a pocket safe and snug
Hopping with her mama.
