Dashing through the bush
In a rusty Holden ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It’s summertime and I am in
My singlet, shorts and thongs
CHORUS
OH! Jingle bells
Jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Christmas in Australia
On a scorching summer’s day
HEY!
Jingle bells
Jingle bells
Christmas-time is beaut
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a rusty Holden ute!
Engine’s getting hot
Dodge the kangaroos
Swaggie climbs aboard
He is welcome, too
All the family is there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas Day the Aussie way
By the B-B-Que!
Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and Uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take a family snap
Then pack the car
And all shoot through
Before the washing-up
