12I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland
G#m23                           F#m24
13and Stella's flying in from the coast
E25                             F#m26                    G#m27
14They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees, even more maybe, but that
               F#m28
15won't stop the roast
A29                         B30
16Who's gonna make the gravy now?
A31                      B32
17I bet it won't taste the same
            E33                                    F#m34
18Just add flour, salt, a little red wine and don't forget a dollop of
        G#m35                                F#m36
19tomato sauce for sweetness and that extra tang

22And give my love to Angus and to Frank and Dolly,
                 G#m39                     F#m40
23Tell 'em all I'm sorry I screwed up this time

26And look after Rita, I'll be thinking of her early Christmas morning
      F#m44          E45
27When I stand in line

33I hear Mary's got a new boyfriend, I hope he can hold his own
34Do you remember the last one? What was his name again?
35-Just a little too much cologne-
36
37And Roger, you know I'm even gonna miss Roger
38'Cause there's sure as hell no one in here I want to fight
39
40Oh praise the Baby Jesus, have a Merry Christmas,
41I'm really gonna miss it, all the treasure and the trash
42And later in the evening, I can just imagine,
43You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back
44And you'll dance with Rita, I know you really like her,
45Just don't hold her too close, oh brother please don't stab me in the
46back
47
48I didn't mean to say that, it's just my mind it plays up,
49Multiplies each matter, turns imagination into fact
50You know I love her badly, she's the one to save me,
51I'm gonna make some gravy, I'm gonna taste the fat
52Tell her that I'm sorry, yeah I love her badly, tell 'em all I'm
53sorry,
54And kiss the sleepy children for me
55You know one of these days, I'll be making gravy,
56I'll be making plenty, I'm gonna pay 'em all back.
