12 Days of Aussie Christmas (Bonus Track) Lyrics by Colin Buchanan

Aussie Christmas with Bucko & Champs, Vols. 1 & 2

0

[Verse 1: Colin and Greg, Colin]
(Ah, the twelve days of Aussie Christmas)
On the first day of Christmas, a swagman at the gate
Said, "Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!"
[Verse 2: Colin and Greg]
On the second day of Christmas, an emu by the fence
Said, "Good on ya cob"
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
[Verse 3: Colin and Greg]
On the third day of Christmas, a shearer down the shed
Said, "How 'bout the flies?"
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
[Verse 4: Colin and Greg]
On the fourth day of Christmas, a goanna on a rock
Said, "It's stinkin' hot"
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
[Verse 5: Colin and Greg, Colin]
On the fifth day of Christmas, Frank put up the sign;
Total fire ban!
It's stinkin' hot
How 'bout thе flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussiе Christmas, mate!
(Now just take a breather here, [?])
[Verse 6: Colin and Greg, Colin]
On the sixth day of Christmas, a dingo by the dam
Said "I'm flat out 'til Chrissy"
Total fire ban!
It's stinkin' hot
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
(Alright, start the mower)
[Verse 7: Colin and Greg, Colin]
On the seventh day of Christmas, Sue put up the lights
Drop in for a chinwag (*Garbled telephone chatter*)
Flat out 'til Chrissy
Total fire ban!
It's stinkin' hot
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
(Champs, your moment of glory)
[Verse 8: Colin and Greg, Colin, Greg]
On the eighth day of Christmas, they called the CFA (Country Fire Association)
Santa's on a firetruck (Ooh, there he goes!) *Sirens* *Santa shouting*
Drop in for a chinwag *Telephone chatter* (Hello, what? Hello? You're breaking up)
Flat out 'til Chrissy (I'm flat out mate)
Total fire ban!
It's stinkin' hot
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
[Verse 9: Colin and Greg, Colin, Greg]
On the ninth day of Christmas, you should have heard the cheer
School's out for summer *Children cheering* (Is it?) (Yes!)
Santa's on a firetruck *Sirens* *Santa laughing* (No he's not.) (He is)
Drop in for a chinwag *Telephone chatter* ([?])
Flat out 'til Chrissy *Chuckles* (Nearly got it!)
Total fire ban!
It's stinkin' hot
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
(Pull the spark plug out, and see if you can get a spark out of it)
[Verse 10: Colin and Greg, Colin, Greg]
On the tenth day of Christmas, you couldn't move in town
A madhouse up Main street (Mm, you couldn't, mhm)
School's out for summer *Children cheering*
Oh, Santa's, on a firetruck! *Santa laughing*
Drop in for a chinwag (Alright, okay, when would you like?)
Flat out 'til Chrissy
Total fire ban!
It's stinkin' hot
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
(Ah, it's a workout)
[Verse 11: Colin and Greg, Colin, Greg]
On the eleventh day of Christmas, they drew the raffle prize
You little beauty!
Madhouse up Main street
School's out for summer *Children cheering*
Well Santa's on a firetruck
Well, drop in for a chinwag
Well, nah, I'm flat out 'til Chrissy (*Chuckles* Oh no!)
Total fire ban!
It's stinkin' hot
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya, cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
(Last day of Christmas coming up, so this is the big one)
[Verse 12: Colin and Greg, Colin, Greg, crowd]
On the 12th day of Christmas, we'll take an early mark
Knock off 'til New Year! (Happy New Year)
You little beauty
Madhouse up main street
School's out for summer
Santa's on a firetruck
Drop... in for a chinwag!
Flat out 'til Chrissy! (Anyway we're up to this bit!)
Total fire ban!
It's stinking hot
How 'bout the flies?
Good on ya cob
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas, mate!
