Christmas In Down Under

Just a few days to Christmas
So much to do 
Mum has decided 
We’ll have a barbecue

Dad’s at the bank 
Taking out some money
Baby’s in his highchair
Sucking on his dummy

Nan is in the garden
Picking pretty flowers
Big sister’s on the phone
For hours and hours and hours

Family are arriving
Putting presents my the tree
A small one for baby
A big one for me

We’d better all be good 
And try not to fight
For Santa Claus is coming
In the middle of the night.

He’s a jolly fellow
In his suit of cherry red
Pull up the covers 
Snuggle down in bed

Santa will arrive
In his jet propelled sleigh
Laughing and ho ho-ing
Across the milky way

Early Christmas morning
Look up into the sky
You will see a message
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOODBYE
