Outback Christmas Tree

Like a tiny porcelain statue Jade leaves and pearly bark Set upon a backdrop Of a Territory post card The smell of eucalyptus Decorated with gum nuts Red dust glitters all the branches The sunset lights it up It's a stinkin' hot December But I've got the presence right Santa come and join me for a billy tea tonight The kids are running barefoot Singing carols merrily And I'm blessed that I'm right where I wana be Out under this Outback Christmas Tree Don't have to pack it up put it Away for us next year I can go there any season To find Christmas cheer Pack up my swag and head off Down a 4x4 trail road Following the stars Where all the wisemen go It's a stinkin' hot December But I've got the presence right Santa come and join me for a billy tea tonight The kids are running barefoot Singing carols merrily And I'm blessed that I'm right where I wana be Out under this Outback Christmas Tree Some folks like the city Some people like the snow But there's something 'bout the magic Where the ghostly gum trees grow It's a stinkin' hot December But I've got the presence right Santa come and join me for a billy tea tonight The kids are running barefoot Singing carols merrily And I'm blessed that I'm right where I wana be Out under this Outback Christmas Tree I've got everything that I could ever need Out under this Outback Christmas Tree
