It's Christmas in Rhodesia
And there's no mistletoe
No holly and no reindeer
No Robin in the snow

But bless our red poinsettia
And bright Flamboyant too
And gentle-eyed impala
To see dear Santa through

It's Christmas in Rhodesia
And Christmas beetles sing.
Through the towns and country
Oh hear their carols ring

It's Christmas in Rhodesia
And there's no mistletoe
No holly and no reindeer
No Robin in the snow

But bless our red poinsettia
And bright Flamboyant too
And gentle-eyed impala
To see dear Santa through

It's Christmas in Rhodesia
And Christmas beetles sing
Through the towns and country
Oh hear their carols ring

It's Christmas in Rhodesia
The sky is all alight
Peace on earth and goodwill
To all men on this night

Around our glowing campfire
Come join our barbecue
And may the joys of Christmas
Forever be with you

It's Christmas in Rhodesia
And Christmas beetles sing
Through the towns and country
Oh hear their carols ring

It's Christmas in Rhodesia
And Christmas beetles sing
Through the towns and country
Oh hear their carols ring
