Lyrics

- "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" (1957)
- I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um, with my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um.
- "Jake the Peg" (1965)
- There's an old Australian stockman -- er, rock band, trying, dying. They get themselves up on their collective elbows, revert to their sixties instrumentation, and they try again.
