This photo provided by Roxy Bell shows a 5-pound, 7-month-old albino wallaby Tuesday, May 8, 2007, in Deadwood, S.D. His owners at The Roo Ranch named him Tarmac because he escaped from his cage Thursday, May 3, 2007, for a few minutes while being transferred to a different airplane at the Salt Lake City airport.

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!
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!
