[B] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
Dashing through the bush in a rusty [B] Holden Ute,
Kicking up [C#] the dust, Esky in [F#] the boot, Kelpie by my side,
Singing Christmas songs, [B] It's summer time [C#] and I am in,
Sing the Chortlenthong, [F#] Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
[B]
Christmas in [F#] Australia on [G#] a scorching [C#] summer's day,
[F#] Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is new,
[B] Oh what fun it [F#] is to ride in a [C#m] rusty Holden [F#m] Ute,
[G#m] [B]
[E] Deck the shed with bits of [A] wattle, Fa la [E] la la [B] la la la [E] la la,
Wax and gum leaves in a bottle, [A] Fa [E] la la la la la la la la,
[B]
All the shops [E] are open Sundays, Fa la [C#m] la la [F#] la la la [B] la la,
[E] Borrow your dad's socks, socks and [A] undies, Fa la [E] la la la la la la la,
Deck the shed with bits of [A] country, Fa la [E] la la la [B] la la [E] la la,
Hang some decoes off the plum tree, [A] Fa la [E] la la la [B] la la la [E] la,
[B] Blast some [E] kisses on the mistletoe, Fa [C#m] la la la [F#] la la la [B] la la,
[E] And have a ripper rosy Christmas, [A] Fa la la [E] la [B] la la la [E] la la,
[B]
[E] [A] [Bm]
It was in the middle [D] of last July, [F#] when Santa jumped out [Bm] of bed,
He said I've had enough of [D] this old North Pole, [F#] I'm heading south [Bm] instead,
His accountant [D] said it's risky, there's [F#] a likelihood [Bm] of failure,
But Santa said [D] I need a pole [F#] that's closer [Bm] to Australia,
[G] Say [D] goodbye to the northern lizards, [F#] and the [Bm] bitter Arctic cold,
[Em] Hello sun [F#m] and snow [Bm] and sand, [F#]
Santa's moving to the [Bm] South Pole,
He's got the sun, the air, the water, [E] the snow, the rain, and the snow,
Oh [A] Barry the Elf was a bludger, and a very fine [E] bludger was he,
He'd sleep all day and rest all night, do nothing but watch [A] TV,
He wouldn't help Santa make presents, he had the wrong [E] attitude,
He didn't wash, he never said thanks, he was rude and [A] lewd and crude,
[D]
All of his friends [A] were deadbeats, [D] like the reindeer they [A] called Jeff,
They were into igloo [F#] graffiti, [B] and suspected of petty [E] theft,
They [A] were serious all round shocksters, they had no manners [E] at all,
Hanging around harassing locals, at the Arctic shopping [A]
mall,
They [D] were supposed to be toy technicians,
[G] [D]
The holly and the ivy, if they come up in your yard,
Then go and get the [G] [D] roundup, [A] and hit the [D] mongrels hard,
[Em] [D] The feral pig and cane toad have a right to exist,
But they don't feed our [G] [D] ecology, and make [A] awful Christmas [D] gifts,
You
[G] [A]
[D] try the ute with [G] a big [D] B8, [G] he's the [D] Aussie Santa,
[G] [D]
He's [G]
[D] everybody's mate, he's [G] the [D] Aussie Santa,
[G] [D]
[A] He's the fat bloke in the [Bm]
Akubra, [G] with the blunties and the [A] dusty prin,
And he'll roll through [Bm] town this Christmas, [G] and the bush folks all [A] love him,
[G] He's the [D] Aussie Santa,
[Em]
It's [E]
a boogie woogie Christmas, [A] get down and get [E] Christmasy,
[A] Dosey do and cock loose round the Christmas [E] tree,
[B] You can tangle your tinsel well, it really don't matter [E] to me,
I'm gonna fa la la la la, [A] gonna ding a dong a [E] merrily on high,
[A] I'm gonna sha la la la la, cause I'm a shang a ling a ling a [E] kind of guy,
[B] I'm gonna stand back honey, gonna make a [Em] them [E] reindeer fly,
I'm a red hot rocker with my Santa gear on,
You'll be rockin' and you're sparkin' honey all night [A] long,
I'm a cool rockin' Santa,
Cool [E] rockin' Santa,
[A] Well [B] I'm a cool rockin' Santa and my sleigh is a [E]-smarkin' your way,
Good night Santa!
Here comes Christmas Bob, sellin' cheap [A] prezzies in [E] the pub,
If you've got the cash then you're in luck, get a VCR off the back of a truck,
Bought my Gran a new TV, Christmas Bob [F#m] sold [E] it to me,
A top notch widescreen new Samsung, but the cops came round [G#m] and [E] Gran got sprung,
Christmas Bob goes far and wide, that is where he's not inside,
North and [A] South and East [E] and West, trying to avoid arrest,
Christmas Bob is a PhD, got a dip in a BSc,
He did [A] all his work [Bm] by mail, doin' [C] time in London,
[D]
[G] We wish you a [C] ripper Christmas, [A] a full bore [D] ripper Christmas,
[B] A dead cent [Em] ripper Christmas [C] and a [D] snappy new [G] year,
May the kids have a [D] hoot, may the prezzies be beaut,
[G] From the big belly fella in [Am] the red and [G] white suit,
We wish you a ripper [C] Christmas, [A] a full bore [D] ripper Christmas,
A [B] dead cent ripper [Em] Christmas [C] and a snappy [G] new year,
Send cars through the [D] post, have a big Christmas roast,
[G]
Then hitch up the caravan [C] and shoot [D] down [G] the coast,
We wish [C] you a ripper Christmas!
[Am] [G]
[C] Now Bumba [G] the [C] snowman, he weighed three hundred [G]
pounds,
[C] Oh the rolliest, [Am]
poliest [Dm] snowman [G] in the town,
And Bumba did not melt away as [C] all snow [G]-persons should,
No in fact [Am] his weight ballooned [D] out from [G] eating [C] Christmas wood,
Now the first thing [G] you notice [C] about Bumba was [G] his size,
So [C] he had a special [Am]
talent [B] for munching [G] Christmas pies.
Oh, then one day while chomping on a fruit mince pie with sauce,
[Am] Bumba said, I'm going [Dm] on a [G] wedding [C] dancing
