Golden Kangaroo Lyrics - Family Album No. 2 - John Williamson

When the pioneers arrived in Australia long ago 

Father Christmas had a problem so they say 

Coz his reindeer couldn't go where there wasn't any snow 

and the outback was no place to drive a sleigh 

So the children living here couldn't get their Christmas cheer 

'til someone from the bush could show the way 

Then a Golden Kangaroo volunteered to get them through 

So the kids could get their toys on Christmas day 

Oh the Golden Kangaroo, knew exactly what to do 

And he said to Santa, "Come I'll show the way" 

And he sang this little song as he hopped the billabong 

Boing, boing, boing, boing 

The Golden Kangaroo will show the way 

Show the way, show the way 

Oh the Golden Kangaroo will show the way 

So the Golden Kangaroo got the children's presents through 

Where Santa and his reindeer couldn't go 

And he's done it all these years since those early pioneers 

First received their gifts long ago 

Now when December comes to Australia's sunny shore 

Father Christmas makes a very special call 

To the Golden Kangaroo who bring gifts to me and you 

And a real Australian Christmas to us all 

Oh the Golden Kangaroo, he's an Aussie through and through 

He's a real Australian hero to us all 

And he sang this little song as he hopped the billabong 

Boing, boing, boing, boing 

The Golden Kangaroo will show the way 

Show the way, show the way 

Oh the Golden Kangaroo will show the way 

Show the way, Christmas Day 

Oh the Golden Kangaroo will show the way
