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.
