Christmas in New Zealand

Sid Griffin, Stephen Mccarthy

Yes I miss the snowflakes covering the trees
Sure I smell the dumplings which warm you in the freeze
Although I'm sitting safe and warm, my nights are cold and blue
It's Christmas in New Zealand, I'm down under without you

Christmas in New Zealand, I'm down under without you
Fifteen thousand miles away, I can't believe it's true
The Maoris have the table set, roast beef hold the bone
I'm starting to feel sad and yet we're a nuclear free zone
Greenpeace couldn't park their boat, the rugby team got drunk
Santa seems so far away, I feel just like a monk
Now I don't mean to put the people down of this here place
Oh I just want my Christmas balls hangin' in their place

Now I've got a funny feelin'
'Cause it's Christmas in New Zealand
I don't know what to say, 'cause I'm watching kiwis play
It's Christmas in New Zealand

Oh, Santa

Christmas in the USA, I hope you're havin' fun
I'll be surfin' on the coast not far from Wellington
Now if you wanna reach me call me any time
I'll be home at Auckland 6, double 2 09
Now I don't know if Saint Nick has this island in his plans
He's been up an freezing cold and I've still got a tan

Now I've got a funny feelin'
'Cause it's Christmas in New Zealand
I don't know what to say, 'cause I'm watching kiwis play
It's Christmas in New Zealand

Now I've got a funny feelin'
'Cause it's Christmas in New Zealand
I don't know what to say, 'cause I'm watching kiwis play
It's Christmas in New Zealand
Feed the world, feed the world

Hey Sid!
Yeah.
What, what did you ask for for Christmas?
A new 12 string, er a Samantha Fox colouring book, better elected officials and world peace. What'd you ask for?
Oh I asked for some clod-hoppers, a basket ball, an' a new Dirwin Kirkby album.
Did you leave the milk and cookies out?
I sure did, I'll bet he'll eat 'em all. Sid, have you been good this year?
I've been good, bad, but I'm not evil. Santa's got a brand new bag. I hope Santa's not a skinhead.
Merry Christmas everybody.
Hope y'all been good.
