The Partridge is stuck in a tree
What should we do?
Sing a song, get down one knee?
I could swear I did see two
—-
Oops, sorry that was the Turtle Doves
Yes, there are two of those
Christmas is something everyone loves
Some Turkey and garlic of cloves?
—-
Non! Say the French.
It has to be the trois hens
Don’t agree, be left on the bench
Watch them eat; only through your lens
—-
No fear though,
The four birds outside are calling
Joined by a man, saying, ho, ho, ho
On a sleigh, in the sky, now falling
—-
You throw him five golden rings
Santa needs presents too
Bet you didn’t know he can really sing
There’s so much more he can do
—-
Work his magic on the geese
All six of them lay eggs
The golden ovals represent signs of peace
At this time; no one should ever need to beg
—-
But the water is cold
And the seven swans keep swimming
Wrap up warm, don’t be bold
And your cupboards will be brimming
—-
The eight maids will provide the milk
There’s plenty to go around
Frankincense is replaced by silk
Your footing is now solid, sound
—-
As you celebrate this time of year
And watch nine ladies dance
The ones you love for and care
Surround us and join in the prance
—-
On tiptoes so you can join in
In the circle with the ten lords leaping
Did they have a few shots of Gin?
No, its okay, its all part of the meeting
—-
Moving and swaying to the piper’s tune
The eleven pipe as best they can
Sometime, later that afternoon
They heard the beat of the drumming man
—-
Twelve to be exact
Drumming, drum, drum
Twelve days is a long time to keep up this act
So I say to you all; just go out and have some fun!
