lyrics

Not long ago, I became a father,
And carrying my daughter around has been rather
A strain for the back of this poor ageing rocker.
I wish I were a quokka.

I’ve spent far too many years slouching on the couch
And when I pick my baby up you’ll hear me yelling “Ouch!”
Chances are that I would not be such a grumpy grouch
If I had a pouch.

The quokka lives exclusively down under in Australia,
Like most members of the infraclass marsupialia.
Marsupials have pouches where they hold their joeys close,
And I want one of those.

Don’t mock a quokka!
A quokka is a proper little cute Aussie hopper
With a sprog in the locker.
Do not kick a quokka,
Though some rotters play quokka soccer.
I think that’s a shocker.
If you mock a quokka,
You must be off your rocker.
They’re fluffy and they’re friendly,
And they care for their kids gently.
Consequently, I want to be a quokka.
Oh please let me be a quokka.
