Christmas Photo Lyrics by John Williamson

JW’s Family Album

1990

[Verse 1]
It's December in Australia;
Time to remember all the family
Christmas tree - native pine
Lights and tinsel all entwined
Put a fairy on the top
There's Gran and Pa and Joan and Pop
The ham and turkey's organised
Won't the grandkids be surprised
When Santa comes in big black boots
In the back of Jacko's ute...
Ho Ho Ho! Ho Ho Ho!
[Chorus]
It's December in Australia;
Time to remember all the family
Gather round for a photo
Hang on, Dad, where did Sam go?
We gotta get everyone in the picture...
Oh here he is. C'mon, Sam
Now say "Cheese"
Wait a minute - Bubbles is missing
[Verse 2]
Oh, yum yum, pig's bum - Christmas Pudding
All the ladies do the cooking
All the men are really slack
Slapping each other on the back
"How ya been Tangles? How was your year?
Might rain tomorrow. Have a cold beer
I hear young Greg is playing fullback
I guess he gets it all from you, Jack"
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Who's for a game of cricket?
[Chorus]
It's December in Australia;
Time to remember all the family
Gather round for a photo
Hang on, Dad, where did Cher go?
We gotta get everyone in the picture...
Oh here she is. C'mon, Cher
Now say "Cheese"
Wait a minute - Annie's not here
[Verse 3]
Ah me, not out. Oh yes you are, Nick
It's your bowl, Max, don't bowl too quick
Aw, Nick has run of with the bat
After him across the flat
C'mon, Cub, you've had a bowl
Give the ball to Christie
Tom-tit, Peewee, Brookie, Sidekick
You're on my side. Grab the bat quick
Now he's run off with the stump
Better give that Nick a thump
Think I'll have another beer, runt
[Chorus]
Oh, it's December in Australia;
Time to remember all the family
Gather round for a photo
Hang on, Dad, where did Amy go?
We gotta get everyone in the picture...
Oh here she is. C'mon, Amy
Now say "Cheese"
Oh, Wait a minute - Heddi's not here
[Verse 4]
See the goanna up the gum tree?
He's gonna get a feed today, free
When the campers leave the lake
Bits of chook and chocolate cake
It's Christmas time for him as well
See his big long belly swell
Heh heh heh heh heh!
[Chorus]
Oh, it's December in Australia;
Time to remember all the family
Gather round for a photo
Hang on, Dad, where did Fox go?
We gotta get everyone in the picture...
Oh here she is. C'mon, Fox
Everybody say "Cheese"
Hold it there now
Got it!
Oh, it's December in Australia
