One day in the town of Galiwin’ku, a mother sat crying, not knowing what to do, ‘Our town is just so messy!’ she said, as she went on crying and shaking her head.
Well, the kids of the town, they looked away, no one wanted to pick up rubbish all day!
Then off they ran to play their games, while the mother looked at them with shame.
Well, the kids of the town, they looked away, no one wanted to pick up rubbish all day!
Then off they ran to play their games, while the mother looked at them with shame.
Well, they looked to the left and they looked to the right, and they looked at all that rubbish in their sight, ‘look at all the mess they’ve made!’
They said: ‘We need to have an Emu Parade!’
So they got themselves into one long line, and they marched across that town so fine, and from way up high, they all leaned down, to pick up all the rubbish on the ground!
What did the emus put the rubbish in?
They put that rubbish in the rubbish bin!
What did the emus put the rubbish in? They put that rubbish in the rubbish bin!
With another flash of lightning, they were gone, then the mother woke up to the morning sun,
She said: ‘Look how clean our town’s been made, those kids must’ve had an Emu Parade!’
Well the mother gave all those kids a treat, for picking up the rubbish all along her street.
They never told her (well, would you?) about the parade of those proud Emus!
But after that then, once a week, those kids got together at the top of the street, and they got themselves into one long line, and they marched across that town so fine, and from way up high, they all leaned down, to pick up all the rubbish on the ground!
And what did they put that rubbish in? They put all the rubbish in the rubbish bin!
So now what will YOU put YOUR rubbish in?
‘We’ll put all OUR rubbish in the rubbish bin!’
