袋鼠歌星有罪

以演唱Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport成名的澳洲歌手Rolf Harris，因涉及1968 年至1986年性侵四名七、八歲及19歲未成年少女，六月30日在倫敦的法院被男女各六人的陪審團認定有罪，他將於七月四日經過醫療檢查後判刑，1977年英國女皇頒給他的帝國勳章the Commander of the Order of the British Empire medal顯然將被追繳。

Rolf Harris於1930年出生於澳洲伯斯，現年已84歲，1950年代中期前往英國發展，1970年曾於BBC主持過個人的電視節目，他因袋鼠歌Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport成了澳洲人驕傲，但遲暮之年因不名譽性侵案遭判刑，令澳洲人及歌迷們失望。

Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport這首歌於1963年七月曾獲得排行榜第三名。

Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport

Rolf Harris

Words and Music by Rolf Harris

 

SPOKEN: There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying.  He gets himself up

onto one elbow and 'e turns to his mates, who are all gathered around and 'e says:

 

 

Watch me wallabies feed, mate

Watch me wallabies feed,

They're a dangerous breed, mate

So watch me wallabies feed

Altogether now!

 

CHORUS:

Tie me kangaroo down, sport

Tie me kangaroo down

Tie me kangaroo down, sport

Tie me kangaroo down

 

Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,

Keep me cockatoo cool

Ah, don't go acting the fool, Curl

Just keep me cockatoo cool

Altogether now!

 

(CHORUS)

 

'n' take me koala back, Jack

Take me koala back

He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac

So take me koala back

Altogether now!

 

(CHORUS)

 

Let me abos go loose, Lew

Let me abos go loose

They're of no further use, Lew

So let me abos go loose

Altogether now!

 

(CHORUS)

 

And mind me platypus duck, Bill

Mind me platypus duck

Ah, don't let 'im go running amok, Bill

Just mind me platypus duck

Altogether now!

 

(CHORUS)

 

Play your didgeridoo, Blue

Play your didgeridoo

Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot thru, Blue

Play your didgeridoo

Altogether now!

 

(CHORUS)

 

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred

Tan me hide when I'm dead

So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde

And that's it hangin' on the shed!!

Altogether now!

 

(CHORUS)
