Premise:
Set to the tune of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ this mad-cap ditty has proved a bit of harmless fun on various Christmas social occasions. The items mentioned should be available to the singer/s so that they may be distributed at the appropriate moment – as visibly as possible – amongst the audience. Do encourage the audience to join in, especially for “FIVE GO-OLD BARS!!”
On the first day of Christmas our fam’ly brought to us:
An artificial Christmas Tree (a small tinselly one)
on the second day
two tinsel strands and…
(the threadbare the better)
on the third day
three royal crowns
(paper ones from crackers)
on the fourth day
four cans of lager
(empty!)
on the fifth day
five Gold Bars
(wrapped chocolate biscuits)
on the sixth day
six shiny baubles
(dull Christmas Tree baubles)
