Early on one Christmas
Day, a Joey Kanga-roo
Was far from home
and lost in a great big zoo
Mummy, where's my
mummy, they've taken her a-way
We'll help you find
your mummy son, hop on the sleigh
Up beside the bag
of toys, little Joey hopped
But they had'nt gone
far when Santa stopped
Un-harnessed all
the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far
off booming in the sky
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus
through the blazing sun
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian
run
Pretty soon old Santa
began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined
boots off to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey,
feeling quite OK
While those old man
kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus
through the blazing sun
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian
run
Joey said to Santa,
Santa, what about the toys
Aren't you giving
some to these girls and boys
They've all got their
presents son, we were here last night
This trip is an extra
trip, Joey's special flight
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus
through the blazing sun
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian
run
Soon the sleigh was
flashing past, right over Marble Bar
Slow down there,
cried Santa, it can't be far
Come up on my lap
son, and have a look around
There she is, that's
mummy, bounding up and down
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus
through the blazing sun
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian
run
Well that's the bestest
Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's
pouch all snug and glad
The last they saw
was Santa headed northward from the sun
The only year the
boomers worked a double run
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus
through the blazing sun
Six white boomers,
snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian
run
