Six White Boomers

[Intro: Spoken]
In Australia, Christmas comes in the middle of a very hot summer. So when Santa Claus delivers his presents, he's not taken around by reindeer, because they can't stand the terrible heat. He's taken 'round by six big, white, old man kangaroos called the six white boomers

[Verse 1]
Early on one Christmas day, a joey kangaroo
Was far from home and lost in a great, big zoo
"Mommy? Where's my mommy? They've taken her away!"
"We'll help you find your mommy, son, hop up on the sleigh"

[Verse 2]
So up inside the bag of toys little Joey hopped
But they hadn't gone far when Santa stopped
Unharnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky

(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

[Chorus]
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run

[Verse 3]
Pretty soon, old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey, feeling quite okay
While those old man kangaroos kept pullin' on the sleigh
Hey!

[Chorus]
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racin' Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run

[Verse 4]
Then Joey said to Santa, "Santa, what about the toys?
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys?"
"Well, they've all had their presents, sonny, we were here last night"
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight

[Chorus]
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racin' Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run

[Verse 5]
Soon the sleigh was flashing past right over Marble Bar
"Slow down there!" cried Santa, "It can't be far
Hop up on my lap here, son, and have a look around"
"There, there she is! That's mommy! Bounding up and down!"

[Chorus]
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racin' Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run

[Verse 6]
Well, that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch, feeling snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa heading northwards from the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run

[Chorus]
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racin' Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers
Snow white boomers
On his Australian run
