Dashing to the bay,
in a Kombi campervan,
Christmas at the beach -
the family's master plan
Dad is at the wheel
and Mum sits by his side,
we kids are squabbing at the back
as we go for a ride
Chorus:
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in New Zealand on a sunny summer's day, ay!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to have a Kiwi holiday
We stop off at the shops,
to load the chilly bean,
hokey-pokey ice cream
soon dribbles down my chin.
We jump into the van,
heading for the shore,
Dad fiddles with the radio
to hear the cricket score.
Chorus ....
Soon we are at the beach,
our rellies shout "G'day!",
we swap our Chrissie pressies,
a boogie board - hooray!
We change into our togs,
and to the sea we run...
what a joy to splash and swim,
summer's so much fun!
Chorus .....
The grown-ups call us in,
they've laid us out a spread:
lunch is fish'n'chips,
and cheerios in bread.
L&P to drink,
pavlova, pud and pie,
Ansac bikkies, choccy fish -
it's cracker Kiwi kai!
Chorus .....
The kids are keen to play,
but Dads all want to nap,
the sunscreen starts to fly,
as Mums go slip-slop-slap.
We race out to the sand,
to play a game of touch,
but all the cuzzies are too slow,
because they ate too much!
Chorus....
The barbecue heats up,
the sun begins to sink,
our tea's as good as gold,
we've scoffed it in a wink.
It's nearly time for bed,
we've had an awesome day,
celebrating Christmas time
the real New Zealand way!
Chorus ....
"A Kiwi jingle Bells"
