Christmas Song Aussie Style!

So since Australia doesn't get snow during the Christmas season seeing as it is now summer in this part of the world they have taken the liberty of creating their own lyrics to an old favorite, Jingle Bells.

Here are the lyrics:


AUSSIE 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 summer time and I am in 
My singlet, shorts & 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 
Dodge the kangaroos 
Swaggie 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

Funny thing is, I've now been here long enough to know what all the lyrics are saying/talking about! I hope you all enjoy!
