Early on, one Christmas day, a joey kangaroo
Was far from home and lost in a great, big zoo
Mummy, where's my mummy? Where is she?
She's gone away
Oh well, I know where you'll find your mummy, son
Hop up on the sleigh
Up beside the bag of toys, little joey hopped
But they hadn't gone far when Santa stopped
Unharnessed all the reindeer and joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky
(Boo, boing, boo, boing, boo, boing, boo, boing)
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run
Pretty soon, old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
Into one, popped joey, curled up right away
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh, hey!
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run
Then joey said to Santa, "What about the toys?
Aren't you going to give some to these boys suffering, as it was?"
"Well, they've all had their presents, sonny, we were here last night
This is an extra trip, it's Joey's special flight" (ah, terrific)
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run (jolly right)
Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar
"Slow down there," he cried, "it can't be very far"
Hop up on my lap here, and have a look around, there"
"There she is! There's mummy, over there! Laying down!"
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run (whoa, six of those)
Well, that's the bestest Christmas treat that joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch feeling snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa heading towards the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers, hey!
On his Australian run, oh
Oh, come over here, Bonsor, come, Nobby, come, Bazza
Come, Tommo, come, Slim, come, Stretch, come, Blue
Come, Spud, come, Stinker
Come, Dopey, come, Flinker
Come, Danelle, Danelle? That's a funny name for a reindeer
It's not a reindeer, it's a boomer
Oh yeah, that's a funny name for a kangaroo
