An Aussie Christmas

Australians let us barbecue for Christmas time is here
A time to stop and rest a bit, and psych up for New Year
On patterned plastic tablecloth we’ll eat our pudding up
And drink a Christmas cordial in polystyrene cup.

Australians let us barbecue for Christmas Time is come
The time we sing that silly song ‘Parum, pum pum pum pum’
We’ll fa la la and ho ho ho and all that Christmas stuff
We’ll crack a gag with Pop and Gran and chuckle our heads off.

Australians let us go for broke in backyards great and small
With Christmas gifts and outdoor chairs, with cricket bat and ball
We’ll pass the salad dressing round, we’ll eat potato chips
And compliment the hostess on a great French Onion Dip.

With sausages and coleslaw too, then let us barbecue.
