Ohh we wont have no sleigh ride
We'll go swimming in the creek
But all the kids and relations
Who are staying for a week
The campfire's blazing brightly
Steak on the barbecue
Welcome all the neighbors in
Were putting on a do.
There's going to be dancing and singing
At the old homestead tonight
Going to be carols ringing
Through he warm Australian night
Dance on the homestead verandah
To an old time fiddle tune
There's going to be an old time party
With Christmas coming soon.
Ohh the kids are hanging stockings
And there's one for me and you
Santa's wearing moleskins
And a shirt of faded blue
The kitchen tables loaded
With ham and chicken too
Welcome all the neighbors in
Were putting on a do.
There's going to be dancing and singing
At the old homestead tonight
Going to be carols ringing
Through he warm Australian night
Dance on the homestead verandah
To an old time fiddle tune
There's going to be an old time party
With Christmas coming soon
Ohh there's going to be an old time party
With Christmas coming soon.
