Subject: RE: NewFolk 12 Days of Xmas From: DrWindy Date: 23 Nov 03 - 05:07 PM Back in the 60's there was a variant of the 12 Days that was done, I think, by the Four Freshmen. Anyone out there know the lyrics? As I recall, part of it went "four top gestap leaders three anti-semites two ...." Help? DrWindy |
Subject: RE: NewFolk 12 Days of Xmas From: DrWindy Date: 23 Nov 03 - 05:41 PM Found it! It was the Chad Mitchell Trio, not the Four Freshmen (senior moment!), but Google didn't turn up the lyric lines I searched. Found it by chance (serendip?) at: http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/gasarch/12/cmt.html TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS by Chad Mitchell Trio. AVAILABLE from The Very Best of the Chad Mitchell Trio (Was also released on Vinyl by Eric Blau I tried to transcribe the words but I couldn'te understand alot of them, so I have XXX there. Also, some might be wrong.

Corrections: (trusting to my "senior" memory) ON the 12 day of Christmas they told all Germany: He ist still alife on the 10th day, Iraq is Long Island On the 8th day, there was a little patter that went: "Telefunken H-Bomb? What the 'ell is a telefunken H-Bomb? Well, it's like a Telefunken radio, but when you're trying to get London, your're trying to *get* London!" On the 7th day, it is "The US send us, free: 7 more million dollars" On the 5th day of Christmas, my true love said to me: "To hell..." Kappy-happy Joy-joy! Now I can embarrass my childen and grandchildren at Thanksgiving dinner! DrWindy |
