about

This song is the greatest little dance and when an emu eats a berry, why it can even grow a tree! Written for the musical "The Story of Buninyong"

lyrics

The Berry Picking Pose

Berry pink and berry pose
Lift your knees, and point your toes
Berry yellow, berry red
Making sure our young are fed
A berry beat for berry pecks
We love ‘em sliding down our necks
Keep that rhythm in your throat
Ok ‘emus – Shake your petticoats

Berry posh and berry proud
Like a bullfrog, sing out loud
Berry black and berry bruise
Inquisitive, then carefully choose
Berry ripe and berry soft
Head held high for the perfect scoff
We boys and girls both wear the pants
Ok ‘emus – we can’t fly, but we can dance

Berry pink and berry blue
Don't you love our purple poo
Berry orange, berry green
Perhaps you think we are obscene
Berry bite and berry yum
Ah who knows what they will become
Aim your bum, squeeze your knees
Ok emus – peck a berry yeah and poo out trees
