Aussie Jingle Bells
Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot,
Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs,
It's Summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut !,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
Engine's getting hot; we dodge the kangaroos,
The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.
All the family's there, sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Aussie way, by the barbecue.
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes 'round to go, we take the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through, before the washing up.
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute.

I fondly remember the day my daughter's class performed this at a school carols by candlelight nights a few years back. Good stuff.

The 'Ute' - A vehicle with the cabin of a car and the rear of a small truck was designed by Lewis Brandt at the Ford Motor Company in Geelong, Victoria.1934 and called a 'Utility Vehicle'. The 'ute' has long been a favourite vehicle for farmers and tradesmen and is part of the Australian landscape.

Yeah, the 4 door Holden Crewman is not a bad looking ute. Although the tray's a tad small, but ok for pottering around, and you'd probably fit a few motor bikes there.

For all those folks whose first language isn't Strine I thought I had better explain a few of the other words in the song.
Bush ... NO not that bloke from America
Bush : the hinterland, the Outback, anywhere that isn't in town
Boot: what Americans call a trunk ... the luggage compartment at the back of the car. Now even though the song mentions throwing the esky in the boot, utes DON'T have a boot.
Esky: anything that will hold cans of beer and ice ... bucket, tub, copper, plastic bag, bath, toilet, wifes good fruit bowl.
Doze: Sleep, it is marvelous once somebody has enough christmas cheer they can sleep no matter how many flies are crawling up there nostrils.
Thongs: There worn on your feet as opposed to the ones people wear around their waste.
Barbecue : a function that takes great skill and large amounts of grog.
Kangaroo : What we eat while consuming copious quantities of grog.
Grandpa : He's the one paying for everything
Pool : That's from all the spilt grog and Grandpa not making it to the toilet.

Do we get to hear one of our Aussie friends sing this? Seriously, Bob and and our very own Doc should perform a duet. You know it makes sense!
