Possum's Song

Oh, I'd rather be a possum

Than a bilby or a roo,
And if I were a wombat,

Well, I don't know what I'd do.
And if I were a bandicoot
I'd jump into the dam.

Oh, I'd rather be a possum

Just exactly as I am.

Oh, I'd rather be a possum

Than a lizard or a bear,

And if I were an emu

I would shed a bitter tear,

And if I were a flying fox

I'd fly into the sea,

For I'd rather be a possum -

And a possum just like me.
