The 12-Days of Christmas – The Australian Version
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A kookaburra in a gum tree
On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Two snakes on skis, and a kookaburra in a gum tree
Three wet galahs …
Four lyrebirds …
Five kangaroos …
Six sharks a – surfing …
Seven emus laying …
Eight dingos dancing …
Nine crocs a – snoozing …
Ten wombats washing …
Eleven lizards leaping …
Twelve possums playing …
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Twelve possums playing, Eleven lizards leaping,
Ten wombats washing, Nine crocs a – snoozing,
Eight dingos dancing, Seven emus laying,
Six sharks a – surfing, Five kangaroos,
Four lyrebirds, Three wet galahs,
Two snakes on skia, And a kookaburra in a gum tree.
