Wide Open Seas(lyrics by David Peetz)Wide open seas Freedom their goal Crowded on and old fishing boad Four hundred souls Why did they perish? Who can tell us? Mothers and children, young and old? Why did they perish? Who can tell us? Fathers and children, young and old?
Santa Claus Was Coming To Oz(lyrics by David Peetz)You better watch out You better not cry You better be good I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to Oz He's coming across The water tonight Got lots to give Everybody, that's right Santa Claus is coming to Oz The navy's gone to meet him Have they brought Christmas cake? They don't know if he's bad or good He's been stopped for goodness sake His sleigh is too small He's got a strange crew Has no passport He's jumping the queue Santa Claus was coming to Oz He grows a long beard He wears foreigh clothes A security risk The government knows Santa Claus was coming to Oz He throws elves in the water To sneak in our country The PM says its all on film And that's good enough for me. They've taken him off To Nauru for sure He won't bother me Or you anymore Santa Claus ain't coming to Oz You better watch out There's no Christmas Isle In Australia no more I'm telling you way Coz Saint Claus ain't coming Santa Claus ain't comin' Santa Claus ain't comin', to Oz |
