Possum in the Roof Lyrics

Chorus:
Possum in the roof, in your football boots
Giving me a fright in the dead of night

You’re nocturnal, I’m diurnal, that’s how it must be
Hurry up you possum and get back into your tree, you’re scaring me

Chorus:
Possum in the roof, in your football boots
Giving me a fright in the dead of night

I’m so weary, it’s so dreary, listening to your tread
Hurry up you possum ‘cause I’m going off my head! That’s what I said

Chorus:
Possum in the roof, in your football boots
Giving me a fright in the dead of night
