Christmas songs - Australia style!
Christmas songs - Australia style!From: Cheryl Hewitt and the children of Wanniassa Hills Primary School, Canberra, Australia.
Here are the words that we sing to two well known Christmas songs:
On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me.
1. An emu up a gum tree.
2. Two pink galahs.
3. Three jabirus.
4. Four kookaburras.
5. Five kangaroos
6. Six platypuses
7. Seven koalas climbing.
8. Eight possums playing.
9. Nine wombats working.
10. Ten lizards leaping.
11. Eleven numbats nagging.
12. Twelve parrots prattling.
1. 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 summer time 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,
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a dusty Holden ute.
2. Engine‘s getting hot, we dodge the kangaroos,
The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.
All the family is there, sitting by the pool,
Christmas day in the Aussie way, by the Bar-b-cue. Oh!
Chorus
3. 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,
And pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up. Oh!
Chorus
