Lyrics
Kangaroo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing
And I saw you staring out in space
I next saw you, you was at a party
Thought you was a queen, oh, so flirty
I came against
Didn't say excuse
You knew what I was doing
We looked very fine, 'cause we were leaving
Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool jerk
Oh, I want you, oh, I want you... Like a kangaroo...
