SONG
Joey Song: I’m A little Joey ( Tune to I’m A little teapot)
I’m a little joey soft and grey
Here is my tail so they say
When you pull my whiskers then i Shout
Hey that hurts so cut it out!
I’m a little Joey short and Stout
Here is my tail and here is my pouch
When I get excited, then I Shout
Hop HOP Hop and run about
I’M a dead goanna on the road
My belly swells up till I explode
Lots of guts and gizzards for all to see
Hungry birds and insects will come and eat me
I’m a little insect in the sky
Watching all the cars go driving by
SMACK I hit the windscreen now I’m Dead
And my feet come out my head
