Come to the Barbecue Lyrics

Chorus: Come to the barbecue (prawns, snags and chops)
It’s just the thing to do (prawns, snags and chops)
Ask all your friends around and come to the barbecue

My Uncle Fred will be there, last week he dyed his hair
Mum says I mustn’t stare, but I’ll take a look
And there’ll be sister Rose, with rings stuck through her nose
And she’ll strike such a pose, I could write a book,
It’s gonna be fun so

Chorus: Come to the barbecue (prawns, snags and chops)
It’s just the thing to do (prawns, snags and chops)
Ask all your friends around and come to the barbecue

Watch Dad, he’ll burn the lot, watch Mum she’ll do her top
And smoke will drift into everybody’s eyes
We’ll jump right in the pool, at least in there it’s cool
What is that noise? Look out here comes the flies.
It’s gonna be fun so

Chorus: Come to the barbecue (prawns, snags and chops)
It’s just the thing to do (prawns, snags and chops)
Ask all your friends around and come to the barbecue

Spoken Voice: Anyone seen the tomato sauce?
