Aussie Jingle Bells

 

 

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 and thongs

 

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Christmas in Australia 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 dodge the kangaroos,

The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.

All the family's 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 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 Australia 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

A swaggie is a swagman or "hobo" - the swagman carries a "swag" on his back and moves from town to town and lives out under the stars. You might have heard of the jolly swagman who sat by a billabong under the shade of a coolibar tree, and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled "you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me" ... He stole a sheep and got caught.

 

Referring to the Holden Ute, as I said earlier Holden is made by GM Australia and is the iconic Australian vehicle. I believe that what we call the Holden Monaro (sporty sedan) is exported to the USA and sold under the Pontiac GTO badge.
