about

This short song was composed as a tool for teaching English to my students at Yuendumu School in the remote Central Desert of Australia.
The song was inspired after a bush trip with an Aboriginal elder lady who was showing us the steps to cooking a kangaroo tail on the campfire.

lyrics

Kangaroo Tail, Kangaroo Tail
Put it on the fire and burn off the hair
Kangaroo Tail, Kangaroo Tail
Put it under coals and leave it for an hour
Kangaroo Tail, Kangaroo Tail
Peel back the skin and eat the meat
Kangaroo Tail, Kangaroo Tail
Got lots of protein to make you strong!

Kangaroo Tail!
Kangaroo Tail!
Kangaroo Tail!
Kangaroo Tail!
