Deck the Shed

It's time for another Aussie Christmas Carol from Colin.
Go on, have a guess what the tune is for this one...

Sing it out loud now!



Deck the shed with bits of wattle
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whack some gum leaves in a bottle
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
All the shops are open Sundays (many Aussies pronounce it "sundies")
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Buy your dad some socks and undies
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la


Deck the shed with bits of gum tree
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Hang some decos off the plum tree
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Plant some kisses on the missus
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la


Say g'day to friends and rellies
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Wave them off with bulging bellies
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Kids and babies, youngies oldies,
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
May your fridge be full of coldies
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la


Chop the wood and stoke the barbie
ha-de-ya-de-ya-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ring the folks in Abu Dhabi
ha-de-ya-de-ya-ha-ha-ha-ha
Pop the stuffing in the turkey
ha-de-ya-de-ya-ha-ha-ha-ha
Little Mary's feeling 'urkey'
ha-de-ya-de-ya-ha-ha-ha-ha


Rally, rally round the table
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Fill your belly while you're able
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Joyce and Joanie, Dave and Darryl
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sing and Aussie Christmas carol
fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la


I had to get Lion to sing if for me three or four times this morning to see if I was hearing him right... "Deck the sh*t with bits of waddle"



He wouldn't sing it for a video.

  2. There was a word Ralph was saying constantly a few months ago that sounded a little like 'f...', and we never found out what the word was supposed to mean. Though it was when we were on our trip to Melbourne and he was spending a lot of time with his uncle...

I'd love to hear from you, even if it's just to say "Hi, I stopped by for a read today"
