02x05 - Susie the Kangaroo

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

this is the story of a young kangaroo

whose first name is susie though her mom

calls her sue

as a baby she rode in mom's pouch which

was

great but those happy days ended when

young susie gained weight

then mom helped her learn how to hop on

her own

a kangaroo's first step to become fully

grown

[Music]

with patience and practice susie learned

how to hop

and once she began well she just

couldn't stop

she hopped and she hopped there was no

standing still

there was no going back every bounce was

a thrill

pops tickled her tummy it was almost

like flying

she loves going out and came down

without trying

but to hop in the house is far from

healing while he flattens the chairs

and leaves dents in the ceiling

her mind told her and poor susie tried

but she just couldn't make all those

hops stay inside

if she didn't stop soon she would make

herself ill

susie hopped in her sleep the girl never

stayed still

dad said she's hop crazy what on earth

shall we do

her parents were worried her creatures

were too

this girl hops too much with susie's

reports

but they also said susie was brilliant

at sports

she excelled at the high jump and she

loved basketball

where her hopping made up for not being

so tall

sports teacher smith said she's one of

the best

but she gets overtired she simply won't

rest

then along came the day of a basketball

game

but susie hopped on a splinter and cried

out in pain

smith rushed to her side when he heard

susie shout

he said just hold still and i'll soon

take it out

hold still exclaimed susie but i just

don't know how

the time to start learning smith told

her is

now trying hard not to wriggle susie

held up her toe

she wanted to move but she told herself

no

while sue shut her eyes concentrating

intently

smith found the splinter and pulled it

out

gently well done

shouted smith i am very impressed for

the sake of a splinter

you've just had a rest now may i suggest

that you make it your aim

to save up your hops for the basketball

game

[Music]

but she didn't just hop oh no not at all

she looked for her teammates and passed

them the ball

she'd pretend to move left then hop to

the right then she'd sh**t when the net

was in range and in sight

the other team marveled at suzie's

ability

she hopped circles around the earth

grace and agility

sue scored 14 points before the last

ball

her team had won didn't she do well

[Music]

that day soon learned something she

never knew i think most important

to a young kangaroo to hop

is a good thing but make no mistake

you have to hop wisely
