about

I am releasing some singles for Christmas but this one is special.

100% of the funds raised in the sale of Jehoshaphat The Christmas Wombat, a cute/happy little song, go to Cedar Creek Wombat Rescue here in NSW. They are a non profit I have been watching for about 6 years now who work 24/7 through some pretty rough stuff.

Please share the link! Let's help Cedar Creek help these beautiful creatures.

If you are not interested in buying the song please go to the URL below and donate to Cedar Creek directly. Thank you!

lyrics

Jehoshaphat the Christmas Wombat
Marsupial Aussie
Keeping cool in the summer sun
In the shade of the Christmas gum tree

But that wombat wanted to know
Christmas snow from the North Pole
So through the world he burrowed
Just as fast as a wombat could go

Did ya know they poop cubes
They do

Jehoshaphat that cheeky wombat
Clever extraordinary
He means to tunnel from summer to winter
As focused as a wombat could be

So Jehoshaphat did dig a hole
To the North Pole where Santa sat
Mr Claus was startled and he laughed and said
"You've been a busy busy wombat, hey?"

So Jehoshaphat a happy wombat
Excited as he could be he is
Playing in the winter Christmas snow under Santa's spangled tree

Hey
Life is but a dream
The wombat Jehoshaphat
Opened his eyes filled with sleep
And with a scratch and a yawn he realized
He'd never left the shade of his Christmas gum tree

Jehoshaphat the Christmas wombat
Marsupial Aussie
He's zooming around under the summer sun
As happy as happy as Larry
Merry Christmas from Down Under
Cheers to great big
Clever marsupial Christmas dreams

about

Liz Aday Music NSW, Australia

Dual citizen USA/AUS. I've been in solitude as an artist for years. I never stopped writing, but I did lose my voice to Vocal Cord Palsy in 2017. They said I mightn't speak again. But as we say in Australia.. Yeah-nah! My main instrument apart from my voice is guitar but I love samples, synths & looping. Heavily influenced by old timey jazz (Billie&Ella)/90s trip hop/Prince & too much to list. xox ... more
