Come with me, happy be,
fill your heart with ecstacy!
Daisy, it's the greatest thing
creation's ever known.
Take a little tip from me!
Hold tight, you're all right,
when you do the H.O.P.

Daisy have you seen
the latest dance
that's come along?
Daisy, go and put your
Sunday hat and jacket on.
There's going to be some jollity.

Hop! Hop!
come and do the Kangaroo
Hop! Hop!
that's the dance for me and you.
Take about your "Alexanders Band"
and all the lot.
"Grizzly Bear" and "Texas Tommy"
and the "Turkey Trot"
come on and Hop! Hop!
hear the music going pop!
You'll never never want to stop.
There's no other kind of dance at all.
Come along, ma honey,
make the others look small.
Come on and do the
Kangaroo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo,
come and do the Kangaroo Hop!

Hop! Hop!
come and do the Kangaroo
Hop! Hop!
that's the dance for me and you.
Take about your "Alexanders Band"
and all the lot.
"Grizzly Bear" and "Texas Tommy"
and the "Turkey Trot"
come on and Hop! Hop!
hear the music going pop!
You'll never never want to stop.
There's no other kind of dance at all.
Come along, ma honey,
make the others look small.
Come on and do the
Kangaroo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo,
come and do the Kangaroo Hop!

Hear them shout?
There's no doubt
ev'rybody's coming out.
Daisy, if I saw those little feet
up in the air.
Happy I should ever be!
You'll smile all the while,
when you do the H.O.P.

Daisy there's a lot of things
I want to tell you, dear.
Daisy, won't you let me whisper
something in your ear?
Just come and throw yourself about.

Hop! Hop!
come and do the Kangaroo
Hop! Hop!
that's the dance for me and you.
Take about your "Alexanders Band"
and all the lot.
"Grizzly Bear" and "Texas Tommy"
and the "Turkey Trot"
come on and Hop! Hop!
hear the music going pop!
You'll never never want to stop.
There's no other kind of dance at all.
Come along, ma honey,
make the others look small.
Come on and do the
Kangaroo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo,
come and do the Kangaroo Hop!

Hop! Hop!
come and do the Kangaroo
Hop! Hop!
that's the dance for me and you.
Take about your "Alexanders Band"
and all the lot.
"Grizzly Bear" and "Texas Tommy"
and the "Turkey Trot"
come on and Hop! Hop!
hear the music going pop!
You'll never never want to stop.
There's no other kind of dance at all.
Come along, ma honey,
make the others look small.
Come on and do the
Kangaroo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo,
come and do the Kangaroo Hop!
