Notes About The Poem

Can be sung to the tune of Good King Wenceslas

Listen to poem:

Christmas Day-To the Tune of Gkw

Christmas Day
By Robert (Bob) Moore-(to the tune of Good King Wenceslas)

Just last night when I looked out
Christmas lights were glowing
soon it will be Christmas Day
but will not be snowing

We live in the land of Oz 
heat it can be cru-el
underneath the Southern Cross
don’t need winter fu-u-el

We need fuel for barbecues
meat and drink a-plenty
invite friends and neighbours round
maybe about twenty

We will feast and have good cheer
remember all the good times
drink to friends no longer here
listen to the be-ell chimes

sharing presents one and all
show how much you love them
packed and wrapped with loving care
opened with abandon

Think of times when we were young
presents to astound you
carol singing round the tree
family to surrou-ound you
