The waves are pounding on the shore today The sun is shining on the sand
We’ve been swimming in the water
We’ve been living off the land
We’ve been breathing underwater With all those animals that can Hey we are living underwater
We are living off the land
Hey it’s Christmas down under
Some say that Jesus had a daughter Ah but I don’t guess he ever met her And she’d have never met her father No I guess this world couldn’t let her
No, this world needed a martyr
And hey it’s hard to understand But if you need to make a martyr You’ve gotta take away the man
Hey it’s Christmas down under
One day my dove will be a dragon It’s so hard to understand
All dragon wings and dragon fire Then dragon bones beneath the land
So tonight when the clouds break
With all the lightning and the thunder
Hey come find me ‘neath lights of the tiki bars Hey it’s Christmas down under
