when santa comes down under

"it is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air"-W.T.Ellis
--------------------------------------------------------------------
when santa comes down under-
he would leave behind snow and thunder.
he would cross scenic beaches of golden sand-
instead of crossing an ice and snow covered land.
he`ll would fly over dirt river beds dry-
while constantly swatting away a buzzing fly.
he`ll swap the roaring fire for an air-cooled fan-
and his white skin would become a golden tan.
would he swap his fur lined coat and boots-
for a t-shirt, shorts and thong suit.
would he exchange his sled for a holden ute-
and instead of saying ho-ho-ho would he say real beaut.
would he swap the reindeers for kangaroos-
and play christmas carols on didgeridoos.
would he exchange milk and cookies for beer-
if so, the next day his head wouldnt be so clear.
would he frolic under the warming sun-
or would it be all business, and not one bit of fun.
