"Play me didgeridoo"

[Wilson Gray]

The oldie, Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport, has the verse,

Play me _didgeridoo_, Blue
Play me _didgeridoo_

Having never heard the word before, I interpreted the verse as,

Play me didgeri, do, Blue
Play me didgeri, do

the otiose "do" being not uncommon in non-North-American dialects of
English, according to the media.

Youneverknow.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
