Coldplay: Christmas with the Kangaroos

Well, have you ever stopped to wonder

how they do Christmas there down under?

How do they make Christmas nice,

when they ain’t got no snow and ice?

And what about poor Santa’s sleigh?

He has to come from fucking miles away

And what about Mick Dundee?

Well he ain’t got no Christmas tree

Well they say, Christmas here is so much fun

We got surfing, we got sun

Christmas here’s sweet as a peach

Opening presents on the beach

We got barbies, we got beer

Santa wishes he lived here

Loads of laughter, loads of booze

Christmas with the kangaroos

Well, have you ever stopped to wonder

how they do Christmas there down under?

Have you ever stopped to think

“Do they have much pumpkin drink?”

Oh don’t you just find it shocking?

Have you got Tim Tams in your stocking?

Do you wonder where Jesus was born?

No, they got Kylie, they got Shane Warne

They all say Christmas here is so much fun

We got surfing, we got sun

Christmas here’s sweet as a peach

Opening presents on the beach

Yeah ’cause got barbies, we got beer

Santa wishes he lived here

Loads of laughter, loads of booze

Christmas with the kangaroos

Loads of laughter, loads of booze

That’s Christmas with the kangaroos
