“Deck the Shed with Bits of Wattle” is a parody of the famous Christmas song “Deck the Halls”, focusing on Australian culture. The song has a very repetitive nature, with every second line making a reference to an aspect of Christmas in Australia.
This track was released in the original 1995 album...
[Verse 1: Colin, Greg]
Deck the shed with bits of wattle
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Whack some gum leaves in a bottle
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
All the shops are open Sundies
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Buy your dad some socks and undies
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
[Verse 2: Colin, Greg]
Deck the shed with bits of gum tree
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hang some decos off the plum tree
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Plant some kisses on the missus
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(Aw yeah)
[Verse 3: Colin, Greg]
Say g'day to friends and rellies
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Wave them off with bulging bellies
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Kids and babies, youngies, oldies
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
May your fridge be full of coldies
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
[Verse 4: Colin, Greg, Colin and Greg]
Chop the wood and stoke the barbie
Harty-harty-ha, ya-ha-ha-ha
Ring the folks in Abu Dhabi
Harty-harty-ha, ya-ha-ha-ha
Pop the stuffing in the turkey
Harty-ha, harty-ha, ha-ha-ha!
Little Mary's feeling irky
Harty-harty-ha, ya-ha-ha-ha
[Verse 5: Colin and Greg]
Rally, rally 'round the table
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Fill your belly while you're able
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Joyce and Jody, Dave and Darrel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Sing an Aussie Christmas carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
