lyrics

I tell ya I got to take a break
Probably bout time I put down this rake
Every day sweatin' raking all these coals
I think for one day I'll give a give a break to these lost souls

They'll sing Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing
Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing

It's a little tiring being mad all the while
Spose that Jesus was right in his style
I've grown old now and getting tired of hate
I think for one day I'll give a holiday if aint too late

So it's Christmas down under
I'll let there be love
A break from all the lightning and thunder
It's Christmas down under
I'll let the damned sing
But just for one day so they don't wonder

Guy came to me, he had made a mistake
Said don't God love me for heaven's sake?
I guess killing dogs is just below the line
Cuz other sins less serious, well to God then it seems just fine

We want to sing Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing
Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing

Can't you make it a little nicer round here?
Can we get some brandy for some holiday cheer?
I said I'll give you one day, fly like angels in the sky
But not for long we need a bad boss and I gotta be that guy

So it's Christmas down under
I'll let there be love
A break from all the lightning and thunder
It's Christmas down under
I'll let the damned sing
But just for one day so they don't wonder

So it's Christmas down under
I'll let there be love
A break from all the lightning and thunder
It's Christmas down under
I'll let the damned sing
But just for one day so they don't wonder

But just for one day
But just for one day
Just Christmas day
Just Christmas day
