MY PAL SKIPPY (Eric Jupp) Music: Eric Jupp Lyrics: Ted Roberts 1968 Intro: |F C |F |C |F C,C,C,C| Verse 1: (C) F C F How would you like to find a friend that's ever-true?

Well a ^Ckangaroo could be the ^Fperfect pal for you. Everyone ought to ^Chave a kanga^Froo or two - 'Though it's ^Gmnot a very common thing to ^Cdo-do-do. Skippy is ^Fmy best ^Cfriend, although I l^Fike white mice And a h^Cippopotamus is ^Freally very ^Cnice. Elephants ^Fmay be ^Cpopular in ^FTimbuktu, But I'd ^Crather have a kanga^Froo.

CHORUS:

She has a ^Bbgood pouch for minding All the ^Ftreasures I'm finding, But if ^CI overload her she gets ^Fhopping mad. And every ^Bbnight in her pocket, When I ^Fhelp her unlock it, There are ^Cthings we'd forgotten that she ^C7ever had.

Verse 2 (shorter):

So would you ^Flike to ^Cfind a friend that's ^Fever-true, Well, a ^Ckangaroo could be the ^Fvery one for ^Cyou. Skippy's a ^Freal good ^Cpal, the best I ^Fever knew: She's a ^Creal Australian kanga^Froo-roo-roo. She's a ^Creal Australian kanga^Froo.

Verse 3: |F C |F |C |F | |F C |F |Gm |C | [Instrumental to first four lines of the verse]

Skippy is ^Fmy best ^Cfriend, although I l^Fike white ^Cmice And a h^Fippop^Cotamus is ^Freally very ^Cnice. Elephants ^Fmay be ^Cpopular in ^FTimbuktu, But I'd ^Crather have a kanga^Froo.

CHORUS:

Verse 4:

So, would you ^Flike to ^Cfind a friend that's ^Fever-true? Well a ^Ckangaroo could be the ^Fvery one for ^Cyou. Skippy's a ^Freal good ^Cpal, the best I ^Fever knew: She's a ^Creal Australian kanga^Froo-roo-roo. She's a ^Creal Australian kanga^Froo.

Coda:

A ^Creal Australian kanga^Froo. C F C,C,C,F. [Stop] A real Australian kangaroo.
