about
Cathi Ogden and I did a couple of gigs recently. We were rehearsing for our last show recently. We thought it would be a good idea to do something for Christmas. Please enjoy and a have a safe and happy festive season.
lyrics
Magpies sitting on an open deck,
Sunshine burning off your face.
Throw another prawn on the Weber dear
And won't you fetch another beer?
Everbody knows Uncle Ken can't help himself
And Aunty Alice is a lush
The kids run amuck,
Too much, sugar and junk
They'll still be high, this time on Boxing Day.
You know that Santa's on his way
He'll hit New Zealand and Australia in a day.
When you look up and see his reindeer, say goodbye.
Come back for New Years Eve, a party at Bondi,
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids, from 1 to 92
Although its been said, many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you.
Sunshine burning off your face.
Throw another prawn on the Weber dear
And won't you fetch another beer?
Everbody knows Uncle Ken can't help himself
And Aunty Alice is a lush
The kids run amuck,
Too much, sugar and junk
They'll still be high, this time on Boxing Day.
You know that Santa's on his way
He'll hit New Zealand and Australia in a day.
When you look up and see his reindeer, say goodbye.
Come back for New Years Eve, a party at Bondi,
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids, from 1 to 92
Although its been said, many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you.
