No. 14 - Song - Peter and Chorus - "The Tale of the Kangaroo."
| Peter: | In a grove far away in Australia Dwelt a dear little Kangaroo, And she soon found a beau, but her folks said: "No, we have formed other plans for you." Then they locked up the maid, for they felt quite afraid She'd elope and would soon be a bride, But she danced on her tail in that home-made jail when she heard these words outside: Oh, moonbeam light and airy, Oh, moonbeam soft and blue, Pray be a good kind fairy, for I've work tonight for you. Seek out my distant sweetheart, Fly swift as Cupid's dove. Give her my heart's true message: "You're the only one I love!" |
| Chorus: | Oh, moonbeam light and airy, Oh, moonbeam soft and blue, Pray be a good kind fairy, for I've work tonight for you. Seek out my distant sweetheart, Fly swift as Cupid's dove. Give her my heart's true message: "You're the only one I love!" |
| Peter: | But one night, sad to say, As he sang that lay, He was heard by a side-show man. Now he mourns all day in a hopeless way through the bars of the circus van; But at night, as the light of the moonbeams bright Steals in through the grated door, How it lights up the gloom of his four-wheeled tomb When he hears these words once more. Oh, moonbeam light and airy, Oh, moonbeam soft and blue, Pray be a good kind fairy, for I've work tonight for you. Seek out my distant sweetheart, Fly swift as Cupid's dove. Give her my heart's true message: "You're the only one I love!" |
| Chorus: | Oh, moonbeam light and airy, Oh, moonbeam soft and blue, Pray be a good kind fairy, for I've work tonight for you. Seek out my distant sweetheart, Fly swift as Cupid's dove. Give her my heart's true message: "You're the only one I love!" |
