Aussie Christmas Medley Lyrics
Over the years many unique Australian Christmas carols have been created, including the "Australian Christmas Medley," which includes new lyrics to a medley of traditional Christmas songs.- Dashing thru the bush
- in a rusty holden ute
- kicking up the dust
- eski in the boot
- kelpie by my side
- singing Christmas songs
- it's Christmas time and i am in
- my singlet, shorts and thongs...Shadow Princess: Aussie Christmas Medley
- You better take care crossing the lights,
- If Santa sees you coming you can say goodnight
- Cause Santa Claus has got a new truck
- He's hotted it up and painted it red
- and he's cruisin' around town like a petrol headShadow Princess: Aussie Christmas Medley
