Mama Does the Kangaroo

Butch Hancock

Everybody dancin' on a Saturday night
Mama and Papa got it down so tight
They do a slow dance
They do a fast one too
Papa does the monkey
Mama does the kangaroo

Mama and Papa practice everything they preach
They took little baby sister right 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

Papa does the monkey
Mama does too
But when Papa does the monkey
Mama does the kangaroo

You want to do the monkey
Get out on a limb
Tickle your ribs till your eyes grow dim
That will be the monkey
And it'll feel good too
Papa does the monkey
Mama does the kangaroo

And if you want to do the kangaroo
Don't be a chump
Get a little runnin' start
And jump, jump, jump
Keep a'jumpin'
Till the music's through
That'll be the monkey
And that'll be the kangaroo

Papa does the monkey
Mama does too
But when Papa does the monkey
Mama does the kangaroo
I saw the rhino reekin' havoc on the floor
He 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

Papa does the monkey
Mama does too
But when Papa does the monkey
Mama does the kangaroo
