lyrics

It's only 5am, but it's 35 degrees
Jack spent last night drinking and he's taken out the tree
The kids are getting restless
Mum's running out of patience
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

The kitchen's hotter than hell
But mum's still gotta cook lunch
The snags go on the barbie as the rum goes in the punch
Bob sets up the paddle pool
The Esky keeps the bevvies cool
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

Aunty Joan's arrived with a plate of salmonella
Uncle Tony sends his love but he's still stuck in the slammer
It's the first time Cousin Ben's been here
Since the turkey incident last year
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

Everybody's stuffed, so we head down to the beach
It helps to break the tension caused by mum's unwanted speech
She polished off the jelly shots
So we're swinging by the bottle shop
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

The sun begins to set
Another year in the books
A standard summer Christmas
Our backs and arms are cooked
Families go our separate ways
The leftovers drag on for days
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

The kids already wrecked their gifts
But mum couldn't really give a shit
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

The dog found Benny's souvenir
He leaves the same thing every year
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

No one's heard from Uncle Steve
Only six more days til New Years Eve
Christmas in the summer in the suburbs

"Paul Kelly meets The Smith Street Band"
"A bit like Billy Bragg"
"Tony Sly meets Violent Femmes
"... not really my thing."
