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 summer time and I am in
My singlet, shorts and thongs. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia
On a scorching summer’s day. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a rusty Holden ute.
Engine’s getting hot,
We dodge the kangaroos,
The swaggie climbs aboard,
He is welcome too.
All the family’s there,
Sitting by the pool,
Christmas day in the Aussie way,
By the barbeque. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia
On a scorching summer’s day. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a rusty Holden ute.
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,
And pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia
On a scorching summer’s day. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a rusty Holden ute.
