Up! jumped an island
       Up! through the icebergs
             Up! from the bed of the polar sea
And it spun and it twirled
       At the top of the world
              Until it was a dry land
       And it settled in the sunshine
Where it thought it ought to be

Up! jumped the kangaroo
       The wallaby and mankind too
              The emu and the platypus and the koala bear
              And they jumped about and ran about
       And walked about together
All protected by the ocean from the dangers known elsewhere

(so
       we
              say . . . . )
