Happy and free

[intro: jingle bells a pedal steel guitar brushes on a snare]
[Verse 1]
The Esky is full of ice cold drinks,
Tape on a rubbish bin for cricket stumps,
Children running around everywhere,
Their laughter fills up the air,
Cars drive by looking at the lights,
On a warm summer's night,
Christmas Carol's on the t.v.,
Presents sitting under the tree,

[Chorus]
It's a hot aussie christmas day,
Car's have filled up the driveway,
Aunt's and uncle's and cousins too,
Sitting around enjoying all the food,
Grandparents are just glad to see,
All the grandkids being happy and free,
Happy and free 

[Verse 2]
It's a church service on christmas eve,
Gum trees blow softly with the breeze,
A kelpie dog is chasing a magpie,
Towels are hanging on the clothes line,
Everyone sitting in the living room,
Saying that they ate to much food,
Then Aunt Wendy and Uncle Tom,
Start to sing us a christmas song,

[Chorus]

[Instrumental interlude]

[Bridge]
Then it's time to exchange the gifts,
Breaking news comes on the t.v.,
There's a bushfire out of control,
Fire fighters have left their homes,
We hope everyone is alright,
After all it's christmas night,
And there's nothing much we can do,
Just pray that they will be home soon,

[Chorus]

[Fade to end]

[Outro]
[Spoken word]
Merry Christmas and happy New Year,
May your day be filled with lots of cheer.
