Rolf Harris says he is ashamed of racist lyrics in his hit song Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport.
The song launched Harris to fame in Britain, but now the Australian entertainer has admitted his shame over an original verse in the song about Aborigines.
In an interview with Radio Scotland, Harris says he has "great respect and love" for Aborigines. "At the time I was 27 or something when I wrote that," Harris said. "But since 1960 I have never sung that verse."
