Sticky Beak the Kiwi.

Lyrics:

Now Sticky Beak the kiwi, that bird from way down under

He's caused a great commotion and it isn't any wonder

He's notified old Santa Claus to notify the deer

That he will pull the Christmas sleigh in the southern hemisphere.

Chorus:

Lots of toys for girls and boys load the Christmas sleigh

He will take the starlight trail along the Milky Way.

Hear the laughing children as they shout aloud with glee:

'Sticky Beak, Sticky Beak, be sure to call on me.'

Now every little kiwi, and every kangaroo, too,

The wallaby, the weka, and the platypus and emu,

Have made themselves a Christmas tree with stars and shining bright,

So Sticky Beak will see the way to guide the sleigh tonight.

Now Sticky Beak the kiwi, that Maori-land dictator,

Will not allow Rudolph's nose this side of the equator

So when you hear the sleigh bells ring you'll know that he's the boss,

And Sticky Beak will pull the sleigh beneath the Southern Cross.

It's good to hear about alternative songs sung in another country. Are there any others out there?

Well after trying to sing along to this catchy little number I decided to go on line and find out more about this New Zealand Christmas Tree. I wasn't disappointed! I urge all you other members on the forum to do the same. I really believe if we endeavour to find out more about other customs in other countries it will bring us, as human beings closer together. Thanks 2greys.

Christmas Lights from Christchurch NZ, close to my home town of Avondale, which is a suburb. Note, very few houses with 2 stories because of the Quakes.
