How to Dance in Ohio the Musical - Unlikely Animals Lyrics

Music by Jacob Yandura, Lyrics by Rebekah Greer Melocik.

MARIDETH:
(Chorus)
Australia is an island out in the Pacific,
That's mostly a desert
Australia is a lesson in
What isolation and distance can do
A land of unlikely animals.
So strange, they couldn’t possibly be true

The platypus is poisonous,
But only aggressive
When cornered and frightened
A baby kangaroo will hide inside
Her mother's pouch 'til she’s grown
Koalas are my favorite
Because koalas much prefer to be alone

In Australia, the snakes will kill you
The jellyfish will kill you too
Maybe it's better
That I'll only ever see them in a zoo

Australia is the evidеnce
That what we call
'Nature' is not always normal
It also is financially
A dеstination out of my reach
But I don't mind,
I'd rather be alone inside my room
Than on the beach

In Australia, seasons are backwards,
So December is in summer
Dressing like Santa in a tropical zone
Sounds like a major bummer

(Chorus)
Australia is an island out in the Pacific,
That’s mostly a desert
Australia is a lesson in
What isolation and distance can do
A land of unlikely animals.
So strange, they couldn’t possibly be true
