Vocabular: Tog's are swimmingsuits and the other language is typical kiwi (or NewZealand native talk). Tea is afternoon and morning snack (not necessarily 'tea' and sometimes it means dinner). Have fun.
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 squabbling in the back as we go for a ride.
Choir: 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 bin.
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.
Choir
Soon we're 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!
Choir
The grown-ups call us in, they've laid us out a spread:
lunch is fish 'n' chips, and cherrios in bread.
L&P to drinnk,pavlova, pud and pie
Anazc bikkies, choccy fish-it's cracker Kiwi Kai!
Choir
The kids are keen to play, but the Dads all want to nap,
the suncreen starts to fly, as Mums go slip-slop-slap.
We race out to the sand,to play a game of touch,
but all the cuzzie are too slow,because they ate too much!
Choir
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!
