Because it's that time of year

Early on one Christmas Day, a Joey Kangaroo
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo
"Mummy, where's my mummy, they've taken her away"
"We'll help you find your mummy son, hop on the sleigh"
So up beside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped
But they hadn't gone far when Santa stopped
Un-harnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky
Boom boom boom boom boom boom
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, feeling quite OK
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, "Santa, what about the toys
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys?"
"Well they've all got their presents sonny, we were here last night
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight"
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
On his Australian run
Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar
"Slow down there", cried Santa, "it can't be far
Hop up on my lap here son, and have a look around"
"There! There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down!"
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
On his Australian run
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 headed northward from 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
On his Australian run
