On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
An old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Six tiger snakes a swimming in the River Murray
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven wombats burrowing in the ground
Six tiger snakes a swimming in the River Murray
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eight opal rings from Coober Pedy
Seven wombats burrowing in the ground
Six tiger snakes a swimming in the River Murray
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Nine crocodiles a snapping at a boat
Eight opal rings from Coober Pedy
Seven wombats burrowing in the ground
Six tiger snakes a swimming in the River Murray
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten frill necked lizards standing on a red rock
Nine crocodiles a snapping at a boat
Eight opal rings from Coober Pedy
Seven wombats burrowing in the ground
Six tiger snakes a swimming in the River Murray
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven cricketers on the Adelaide Oval playing
Ten frill necked lizards standing on a red rock
Nine crocodiles a snapping at a boat
Eight opal rings from Coober Pedy
Seven wombats burrowing in the ground
Six tiger snakes a swimming the River Murray
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
On the twevlth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve kangaroos in a big mob
Eleven cricketers on the Adelaide Oval playing
Ten frill necked lizards standing on a red rock
Nine crocodiles a snapping at a boat
Eight opal rings from Coober Pedy
Seven wombats burrowing in the ground
Six tiger snakes a swimming the River Murray
Five mining trucks in an Iron Ore Mine
Four koala bears eating eucalyptus leaves
Three galahs squawking in a gum tree
Two bunyips playing in a billabong
And an Old FJ Holden in an rusty galvo shed
