Jingle Bells (Aussie Style)

These are the lyrics to Jingle Bells from Schatz's Christmas Pageant:

 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 & thongs

 OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
 JINGLE ALL THE WAY
 CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
 ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
 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
 Swaggy climbs aboard
 He is welcome too
 All the family is there
 Sitting by the pool
 Christmas day, the Aussie way
 By the barbecue!

 OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
 JINGLE ALL THE WAY
 CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
 ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
 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
 Then 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
 JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
 CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
 OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
 IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

  1. Thanks for the translation on Facebook. I was sure the eskies and kelpies were little fairies.
