Australian’s let us Barbecue

Tune: Advance Australia Fair

Australian’s let us barbecue,
For Christmas time is here,
We’ve Christmas pud and t-bone steaks,
And slabs of ginger beer,

We’ve gone and got the relies’ round,
And we’ll all have a ball,
So let’s sit back and have ourselves,
A Yuletide free for all

Our forebears came from distant lands,
To set this party up,
So we could dine with paper plate,
And polystyrene cup

On patterned plastic table cloth,
We’ll eat our Christmas pies,
If our forebears could see us now,
They’d not believe their eyes

Across this land in summer sun,
In backyards small and great,
We’ll raise our voice in one accord,
With “Merry Christmas Mate”

In outback heat and city street,
And all points in between,
Come join with us and celebrate,
This Aussie Christmas scene

With sausages and coleslaw too,
Then let us barbecue.
