Christmas where the gum trees grow

There is no frost and there is no snow

Christmas in Australia's hot

Cold and frosty is what its not

When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here

Christmas time is near



From England came our Christmas fare

They even said what Santa should wear

But here down under for summers cool

Santa should dip in a swimming pool



Christmas where the gum trees grow

There is no frost and there is no snow

Christmas in Australia's hot

Cold and frosty is what its not

When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here

Christmas time is near



Santa rides in a sleigh on snow

But down here where the gum trees grow

Santa should wear some water ski's

And glide around Australia with ease



Christmas where the gum trees grow

There is no frost and there is no snow

Christmas in Australia's hot

Cold and frosty is what its not

When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here

Christmas time is near



To ride around the bush where its dry

To cart all the presents piled so high

A red nosed reindeer would never do

Santa should jump on a kangaroo



Christmas where the gum trees grow

There is no frost and there is no snow

Christmas in Australia's hot

Cold and frosty is what its not

When the bloom of the Jackaranda tree is here

Christmas time is near
