This was mentioned in the Twelve drinks thread !!

On the first day of Christmas my dog and I brought back
A Partridge in an old sack.

Two Moor Hens

Three Lame Ducks

Four Bald Coots

Five Poached Eggs

Six Bootiful Turkeys

Seven Pleasant Pheasants

Eight Stoned Crows

Nine Breeding Rabbits -all with dirty habits

Ten Hares Receding

Eleven Salmon Smoking

Twelve Stags Rutting

On the Thirteenth day of Christmas
My Dog and I brought up !

Perhaps I will wait till Iraq calms down before I post The Twelve Days of Ramadan !!

This Kipper Family song is part of the Baggyrinkle's Christmas show along with plenty of seasonal songs and carols. They dress up in Victorian costume for the occasion and have a few lady friends to swell the throng.
They perform at The Christmas Market in Swansea and at "The Winter Wonderland" festival in Cardiff, along with folk club and pub appearances over the yuletide season.
