Chase the kangaroo,
Chase the kangaroo.

See what sparkles in our world; never mind the stars,
Mercy is the silver pearl, vengeance is not ours,
Gold glistens bright enough to render greedy nations blind,
But Jesus buried diamonds in a land where love is rare to find.

Shovel go deep, heart be true,
Chase the kangaroo,
Shovel go deep, heart be true,
Chase the kangaroo,
Chase the kangaroo.

Proud men build holy shrines,
The wise men wonder,
Bugs Bunny dug to China,
I guess I'll go Down Under.

Choir, Choir, pants on fire; it's alright to laugh out loud,
If the night is uninspired fear the Ghost, forgive the crowd,
Monday, I'll be in a trench, working for the builder guy,
If Sydney is my destiny, I guess I'll dig until I die.

Shovel go deep, heart be true,
Chase the kangaroo,
Shovel go deep, heart be true,
Chase the kangaroo,
Chase the kangaroo.
