In the interests of your education, guys...
Since most of you on my f-list are what my mother commonly refers to as 'Northern Hemispherites', I thought I'd post some Australianised lyrics to traditional Christmas carols. :3
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the bush
In a rusty Holden ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It's summertime and I am in
My singlet, shorts and thongs
[Chorus]
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia
On a scorching summer's day
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Christmas time is beaut
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a rusty Holden ute
Engine's getting hot
We dodge the kangaroos
Swaggy climbs aboard
He is welcome too
All the family is there
sitting by the pool
Christmas Day the Aussie way
By the barbecue!
[Chorus]
Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and Uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take a family snap
Then pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up
[Chorus]
Deck The Shed
Deck the shed with bits of wattle
Fa la la la la la la la la
Whack some gum leaves in a bottle
Fa la la la la la la la la
All the shops are open sundies
Buy your Dad some socks and undies
Deck the shed with bits of gumtree
Hang some deco's off the plum tree
Plant some kisses on the missus
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas
Say g'day to friends and relies
Wave them off with bulging bellies
Kid and babies, yongies oldies
May your fridge be full of coldies
Chop the wood and stoke the barby
Ring the folks in Abudabe
Pop the stuffing in the turkey
Little Mary's feeling ercky
Rally rally round the table
Fill your belly while you're able
Joyce and Joany, Dave and Daryl
Sing an Aussie Christmas carol
The Holly And The Ivy"
The holly and the ivy
If they come up in your yard
Then go and get the Roundup
And hit the mongrels hard
The feral pig and cane toad
Have a right to exist
But they don't fit our ecology
And make awful Christmas gifts
The rabbit is a dreadful pest
And introduced of course
But it makes a bonzer Christmas dish
With gravy and plum sauce
The privet and lantana
Are an absolute eyesore
And whoever introduced them
Has a lot to answer for
The banksia and bottlebrush
Koala and emu
They are honest Aussie diggers
They're the only ones true blue
The holly and the ivy
If they come up in your yard
Then go and get the Roundup
And hit the mongrels hard!
We Three Kings
We three kings of Bankstown Square
Selling Grandpa's underwear
So fantastic, no elastic
Twenty cents a pair
I'd provide some of the original ones, but Youtube has failed me. I'm very disappointed. If I ever upload them or find someone who has, I'll post them. :3 Because no Christmas should be deprived of 'Father Christmas Showed Me How To Yodel'.
