    • 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
