Australian Jingle Bells

As you all should know, Christmas is just around the corner! Usually we would all be very cheery and merry at this time but I have had enough of America's views of Christmas taking over the whole world's view. People are always going on about having a White Christmas but in Australia, any ice still left out has melted by the time Christmas comes around. As a result, I am taking some of the popular Christmas carols/poems/stories and making them more Australian. You can check out The Night Before Christmas in Australia by clicking here.


Australian Jingle Bells

Dashing through the heat
In a four-wheel open ute
O'er the pools we go
Sweating all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sweating song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute
Jingle Bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The car was hot and dirty
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute yeah

A day or two ago,
The story I must tell,
I went out to the pool
And on my back I dove,
A gent was swimming by
In a one-piece swimming suit,
He laughed as I there painfully float,
But quickly swam away

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute
Jingle Bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute

Now the ground is parched
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this driving song
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty is his speed
Hitch him to an open ute
And crack! You'll take the lead.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute
Jingle Bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a four-wheel open ute

Merry Christmas everyone! Only 5 more sleeps to go. See you tomorrow!
