Kiwi Lyrics

Heard these this evening and they made me smile so I thought I would share them:

Quick Translation - Ute: Utility vehicle (truck), Singlet - sleeveless t shirt, Thongs - (also known as Jandles) - flip flops

Kiwi Jingle Bells

Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust, Turkey in the boot,
Kids are 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 New Zealand on a scorching summers day, Hey!
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 better stop for ice
Put it in the chiller to keep the beer just nice.
All the family's here, sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Kiwi way, by the barbecue.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in New Zealand on a scorching summers day, Hey!
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 the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through, before the washing up.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in New Zealand on a scorching summers day,
Hey!Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
