  1. As Christmas comes around again in our own land
    It's time to be together, take each other's hand
    A chance to share the good times in the summer sun
    Another family holiday's begun

    Chorus

    It's Christmas in New Zealand and the time is right
    For saying "I Love You," and watching stars at night
    For barbecues and swimming out across the bay
    How lovely to spend Christmas in the Kiwi way

  2. There won't be any snow to make the land look white
    The sun won't set down south 'til after 9 at night
    You won't be needing furs or woolly hats and gloves
    It's time for outdoor living in the land we love

    Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Leave your work behind and have your holiday
And try to keep things simple on your Christmas Day
It's such a special time for having friends and family near
Another Kiwi Christmas time is here.
Repeat Chorus

We three kings of Orient are
One on a tractor, two in a car...
An Upside Down Christmas
Carol our Christmas, an upside down Christmas;
Snow is not falling and trees are not bare...

The jersey cow came mooing, mooing, mooing.
The jersey cow came mooing to the old shed door...
The Southern Cross Looks Down
O little town of Bethlehem,
the Southern Cross looks down...
