Christmas Time In Melborne

By Andrew MacRobb

A Christmas Song for our Aussie Friends (and a special Birthday Song for Rhiain)
Sung to the tune of Christmas in Kilarney

Christmas time in Melborne
Is very strange to see,
There’s grass on every walkway
And leaves on every tree.

G’day me mate,
I’m running late,
But I will be back
If ye stay and wait.
It’s Christmas time in Melborne
And all of me mates are here.

It’s great you know,
To kiss your beau,
And laugh at the thought of ice and snow.
It’s Christmas time in Melborne
And all of me mates are here.

The door is always open,
Mosquitoes make a call,
But its their time,
The weather’s fine,
And they’ll be gone by fall.

How great it feels,
To click your heels,
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels.
So let’s join in the Party
And raise a glass of cheer.
It’s Christmas time in Melborne,
And all of me mates are here.
