Attend any Christmas party on Guam, or listen to the local radio station and you will probably hear the tune of Jingle Bells but with a very distinct Island twist. Well, read the lyrics below and you'll see what I mean...
Jungle Bells
Here we are on Guam,
Without a hope of snow,
But through the spreading palms,
A typhoon sure can blow.
Santa Clause will know,
What the tropics will allow,
Instead of riding eight reindeer,
He'll ride a carabao.
Chorus:
Oh, Jungle Bells,
Cocounut shells,
Sticker burrs all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a two-wheeled carabao sleigh.
Be watchful everyone,
He'll send a telegram,
That today he'll be on Guam,
Sent out by Uncle Sam.
Santa will be here.
To see what you have done,
So let's all greet him.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
And join him in the fun.
Gotta love it!
