Australian song Deck the Sheds

Celebrating The Things That Make Australia Unique

Christmas in Australia is hot, hot, hot. While it may be snowing in other parts of the world, it's summertime here! So with a bit of humour and a snag on the barbie, we'll sing the Aussie version of the traditional Christmas song Deck the Halls.

See the bottom of the page for help understanding the song.
Play the song Deck the Halls in a pop-up window
as you sing Deck the Sheds

Deck the sheds with bits of wattle — fa la la la la la la la la
Whack some gum leaves in a bottle — fa la la la la la la la la
All the shops are open sundies — fa la la la la la la la la
Buy your Dad some sox and undies — fa la la la la la la la la

Deck the sheds with bits of gum tree — fa la la la la la la la la
Hang some decos off the plum tree — fa la la la la la la la la
Plant some kisses on the missus — fa la la la la la la la la
Have a ripper Aussie Christmas — fa la la la la la la la la

Say g'day to friends and relies — fa la la la la la la la la
Wave them off with bulging bellies — fa la la la la la la la la
