Red Dirt Holiday

Intro

Oh oh

Aah

Merry whatever

Verse 1

Neat fit

Meat and two veggies wedged in the plastic seat

Thousand flies finding a way inside your drink

Sweat soaking through the festive linen shirt

Pre-Chorus

Burn your skin on the metal swing

Ice melts fast in the plastic bucket

Everything here wants to see you gone

Chorus

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Verse 2

Stare at the blue ring sleeper in the rock pool

Brown snakes sliding through the dry yellow grass

Box jelly bobbing in the tide

Keep your boots on

Pre-Chorus

Burn your skin on the metal swing

Ice melts fast in the plastic bucket

Everything here wants to see you gone

Chorus

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Bass Solo

Verse 3

Forty-five degrees in the shade of a gum tree

Crayfish cracking on the paper plate

Magpie waiting for a moment to dive

Pointy beak pointing at your lunch

Bridge

Run from the spider

Hide from the stingray

Swim for your life now

Run

Hide

Swim

Chorus

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Verse 4

Oven mitts needed just to touch the wheel

Tar bubbling on the quiet road

Bushfire smoke painting the sky a bruised orange

Tipping back a lukewarm can

Pre-Chorus

Burn your skin on the metal swing

Ice melts fast in the plastic bucket

Everything here wants to see you gone

Chorus

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Verse 5

Rudolph got bit by a hungry redback

Santa had to hitch a ride on a shark

Ho ho ho through the salt and the spray

Mind the teeth

Chorus

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone

Sizzling in the red dirt sun

Merry Christmas everyone
