Ripper Little Christmas (an Aussie Christmas Song)

I finished writing another of my Aussie Christmas song earlier today. I left it a bit later than I wanted to this year but I'm glad I got it done.

This is my eighth song now and this year I settled on doing an Aussie version of Holly Jolly Christmas called Ripper Little Christmas.

I chose it as it's very recognisable and should be an easy one to follow. I also chose it as it's just a fun song and we could all use a bit of fun after this year, don't you think?

It's more inspired by the original song than a true parody (I changed the rhyming and structure a bit as I didn't want it to seem too cutesy) but it also lets me tell a bit more of a fun story, which is what I wanted to do too.

I hope you enjoy it and if you have any suggestions for next year’s song, let me know. 😀

Ripper Little Christmas

Have a ripper little ChristmasIt's a beaut time of the yearWe'll have lots of fun in the sunAnd a glass or two of beer

Have a ripper little ChristmasAnd when you go to the beachSay hello to mates you knowAnd shout em a cold one each

Oh oh look how the lights glowSo pretty on the treeGrandma's baked a cake againSave a slice just for me

Have a ripper little ChristmasEnjoy the fun and cheerAnd make sure you have a ripper little ChristmasThis year!

Oh oh look at Uncle JoeHe's fallen asleep by the treeThe kids are playing in the yardWhile we enjoy a cup of tea

Have a ripper little ChristmasHold your loved ones nearAnd make sure you have a ripper little ChristmasThis year!
