about

This song was inspired by our experiences of celebrating Christmas here in Queensland, Australia.

lyrics

Lyrics:

The house is filled with decorations
Anticipating celebrations
Hanging cards on a string like bunting
Counting down the days is really something

Cause Santa’s nearly here
It’s my favourite time of the year
All the people that I never ever see
Have come around to be with me

Just another Queensland Christmas
Shaking off our worries from the year that’s gone
In a couple of months I'll miss this
With everyone around – there’s a merry joyful sound
It's just another Queensland Christmas

Pull up a chair get something to drink
It’s all on ice in the kitchen sink
Bon bons and paper crowns
Now your uncle’s acting like a clown

Eating cold salads in the shade
The family’s put it on in spades
The heat - is building in the kitchen
Trying to keep alive a tradition

Just another Queensland Christmas
Shaking off our worries from the year that’s gone
In a couple of months I'll miss this
With everyone around – there’s a merry joyful sound
It's just another Queensland Christmas

Backyard cricket and some Bowen mangoes
Then we’ll cool off under the hose
We do a second-hand Secret Santa
Someone else brought a Christmas hamper

You know Frosty couldn’t take this heat
Rudolf should have put on some sunscreen
Well the weather outside is frightful
And it’s not because of the snow

Just another Queensland Christmas
Shaking off our worries from the year that’s gone
In a couple of months I'll miss this
With everyone around – there’s a merry joyful sound
It's just another Queensland Christmas

And now it’s just the twinkling lights
While we’re having long chats at night
Even if there isn’t much to say
It’s good to know you’re still okay

Cause there are some who don’t have as much
It’s always good to keep in touch
It’s all about love this season
And you don’t need any other reason

Just another Queensland Christmas
Shaking off our worries from the year that’s gone
In a couple of months I'll miss this
With everyone around – there’s a merry joyful sound
It's just another Queensland Christmas
It's just another Queensland Christmas
It's just another Queensland Christmas
