The Lyrics

i want marsupials
they are loved by everyone
i want marsupials
they have fun with everyone
and when i spot koalas, i shout...
"i see me one ! "
i want marsupials
they're wise and sly
they're sweet as pie

i want marsupials
they won't pout at anytime
and you can see them out and about...
in summertime
they're all you'd ever want
they are loved...by everyone
i want marsupials
they're happy every day
no matter what, they play
you'll find they're happy..all the time
love those kangaroos
love those wombats, too
why can't i capture one for mine ?

i want marsupials
i'm just mad...for every one
i want marsupials
it is sad...not havin' one
but if i ever find an echidna, anytime
i'll have marsupials
i'll found out i'm in love, its true
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

They won't pout at any time???? Well where is the fun in that?

Easy to see where the fun in this parody is, though...=) So far, my favorite of the day...

Funny parody Alvin. And for Stu:

Kangaroo,

They taste best when they are barbequed
Though I'm not as cultured as is Stu
I might one day, try kangaroo.

Five gift certificates to Outback Steakhouse. Unlike Amiright, "No rules, just right!" But this parody rules... not to be confused with Australian rules football, which is at least more like football than the British variety.

Alvin Rhodes,do you have a song parody based on Don McLean's American Pie? I hope it's Bagdasarian-related.
Tim Hall - October 09, 2005 - Report this comment
Great job promoting marsupials, but don't forget that America has one: the opossum.
