Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport was a song by Rolf Harris which became a popular hit across the world and the United States in the 1960s.

It is about an Australian bush man who, on his deathbed, instructs his friend to take care of this affairs. The first of these is to tie his Kangaroo down, since they jump around. Sport is a another word to address a friend.

His last wish is to "Tan me hide when I'm dead Fred", and that's it hanging on the shed ALTOGETHER NOW...
