Bucko & Champs – Australians let us barbecue

 

 

Australians let us barbecue for Christmas time is here

A time to stop and rest a bit, and psyche up for New Year

On patterned plastic tablecloth we’ll eat our pudding up

And drink a Christmas cordial in polystyrene cup

 

Australians let us barbecue for Christmas time is come

A time we sing that silly song ‘Pa Ruppa Pum Pum Pum’

We’ll fa la la and ho ho ho, and all that Christmas stuff

We’ll crack a gag with Pop and Gran, and chuckle our heads off

 

Australians let us go for broke in backyards great and small

With Christmas gifts and outdoor chairs, with cricket bat and ball

We’ll pass the salad dressing round, we’ll eat potato chips

And compliment the hostess on a great french onion dip

With sausages and coleslaw too, then let us barbecue
