The Flatlanders - Mama Does the Kangaroo lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, everybody dancin' on a Saturday night Mama and Papa got it down so tight They do a slow dance and a fast one too Papa does the monkey, Mama does the kangaroo [Verse 2] Mama and Papa practice everything they preach They took little baby sister down to the beach They took the whole fam-damn-ily on down to the zoo That's where Papa does the monkey and Mama does the kangaroo [Chorus] Papa does the monkey Mama does too Papa does the monkey Mama does the kangaroo [Verse 3] Now you wanna do the monkеy, get out on a limb And tickle your ribs until your eyеs grow dim That'll be the monkey and it'll feel good too Papa does the monkey, Mama does the kangaroo [Verse 4] And you wanna do the kangaroo, don't be a chump Get a little runnin' start and jump, jump, jump Keep a-jumpin' 'til the music's through That'll be the monkey and that'll be the kangaroo [Chorus] Papa does the monkey Mama does too But when Papa does the monkey Mama does the kangaroo, yeah, yeah Papa does the monkey Mama does too But when Papa does the monkey Mama does the kangaroo [Verse 5] I saw the rhino wreakin' havoc on the floor Danced with everybody, everybody wanted more I saw the giraffe drinkin' a long-neck brew I saw Papa do the monkey and Mama do the kangaroo [Chorus] Papa does the monkey Mama does too But when Papa does the monkey Mama does the kangaroo Papa does the monkey Mama does too But when Papa does the monkey Mama does the kangaroo When Papa does the monkey Mama does the kangaroo When Papa does the monkey Mama does the kangaroo
