"Aussie Christmas Cheer"
The Backyard BBQ Song for Christmas
Australians let us barbecue, for Christmas time is here
A time to stop and rest a bit, and psyche up for New Year
On patterned plastic tablecloth, we'll eat our pudding up
And drink a Christmas cordial in polystyrene cup.
Australians let us barbeque, for Christmas time is come
The time we sing that silly song, pa ruppa pum pum
We'll fa la la and ho ho ho, and all that Christmas stuff
We'll crack a gag with Pop and Gran, and chuckle our heads off.
Australians let us go for broke, in backyards great and small
With Christmas gifts and outdoor chairs, with cricket bat and ball
We'll pass the salad dressing 'round, we'll eat potato chips
And compliment the hostess, on a great French Onion Dip
With sausages and coleslaw too, then let us barbeque.
