To Hear the Bells

Do you hear the bells 
They are ringing with all their might
When it is Christmas time
On a hot Australian night

Do you see the jolly fellow
Whose face is as red as his suit
Who comes when the bells are calling now
For the children to wonder how

This time of the year is so magical
Even when the snow does not fall
For Christmas in Australia is always hot
We wear board shorts and flip flops

Families all gather at the beach and pool
Whilst Santa’s sleigh is pulled by boomers all
Christmas in the sun
Is made for living large and having fun.

Paul, I want to come to Australia next Christmas. "For Christmas in Australia is always hot We wear board shorts and flip flops" - no idea!
