Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport

הביטלס נפגשו לראשונה עם רולף האריס, מוסיקאי ושדרן טלוויזיה אוסטרלי, כשהתחילו לעבוד עם ג'ורג' מרטין (רולף עצמו התחיל לעבוד עם ג'ורג' מרטין בתחילת 1962).

 

את השיר הבא, Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport, שר (והביטלס מלווים אותו), כשנפגש איתם שוב בדצמבר 1963. הוא שינה את מילות השיר במיוחד למפגש הזה, והתוצאה חביבה ביותר...

המילים:

 

There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying.

And he gets
himself up onto one elbow and he turns to his four mates

who are
gathered around and he says...

Cut your hair once a year boys, cut your hair once a year
If it covers your ears you cant hear boys, so cut your hair once a year

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Don't ill treat me pet dingo Ringo, don't ill treat me pet dingo!
They can't understand your lingo, Ringo, so don't ill treat me pet dingo

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

I think George's guitar is on the blink I think, George's guitar is on the blink
It shouldn't go mmmngaaa-mmmngaaa-Plink, okay now that's really on the blink

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Prop me up by the wall, Paul, prop me up by the wall,
I'll scream and cheer till I fall Paul, if you'll prop me up by the wall

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

Keep the hits coming on, John, keep the hits coming on
At least until after I'm gone, John, keep the hits coming on

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down

And with his very last gasp, he says...
Tan me hide when death comes chums, tan me hide when death comes
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde, and Ringo's got it on his drums!

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down
