The Lyrics
From www.wordorigins.org: The term "kangaroo court," meaning a criminal proceeding that is conducted for show and where the defendant is inevitably going to be found guilty, is not of Australian origin. The earliest use of the term was recorded in Texas, of all places, circa 1850. The term Kangaroo court was unknown in Australia until it was introduced there from America. No one knows how this term arose, but it is usually assumed to be in reference to how the defendant will be bounced from the court to the gallows.
Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!
Looks like I'm going down!
Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!
Looks like I'm going down!
Pulled me for a big stop, cop?
Pulled me for a big stop?
Press your case in court, it'll flop, cop!
Why pick me for a stop?
All together now!
Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!
Looks like I'm going down!
Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!
Looks like I'm going down!
Police takin' me back, Jack?
Police takin' me back.
Did the cops mistake me for black, Jack?
Police takin' me back.
All together now!
Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!

Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!
Looks like I'm going down!
Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!
Looks like I'm going down!
Let drug dealers go loose, Lou?
Let drug dealers go loose?
But set me up for a noose, Lou?
Let drug dealers go loose?
All together now!
Blimey! Kangaroo, this court!
Looks like I'm going down!

Disclaimer: As far as I know, the firm "Dewey, Cheatham & Howe" goes back at least as far as early Johnny Carson. And after seeing John Barry's "TMKDS" parody and rewriting "Flowers On the Wall" with its reference to "Captain Kangaroo," I felt I had to do this one.
