I saw Jasper Carrot do a drunken version of this at the Albert Hall, must have been 1974/5, ending with him looking speculatively at the hole in his guitar as if about to throw up into it.

That was in the days when he was more of a folkie than a comedian.

Dave Lippman sings the following:


THE TWELVE DAYS OF BUSHMAS
On the 1st day of Bushmas my Supreme Court gave to me
A duly selected Presidency

On the 2nd day of Bushmas my President gave to me
Three hundred dollars
Instead of a democracy

On the 3rd day of Bushmas my President gave to me
No Kyoto protocol
So I could warm up
To a check for 300, instead of a democracy

On the 4th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
Space missile defense
In order to form
A more perfect union or at least a warm fuzzy feeling of
Warming up to having no democracy

On the 5th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
A stop to the START Treaty
So we'll be legal
Building Star Wars II
To defend our lack of a democracy

On the 6th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
Stock market tips
To replace Social Security

On the 7th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
Faith-based initiatives
To replace Social Security

On the 8th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
Drills for the Arctic
Water filled with arsenic
Oil won't mix with water
But oil and government oughta
In a centrifuge
Which he'll set up in a wildlife refuge

On the 9th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
A - bill - of - rights!
Not for gays or blacks or free speech
Not for none of these
But for health insurance companies

On the 10th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
Cheaper public schools
Cloning corporate tools
Teaching to the test, screwing all the rest
If they don't like
Our new federal standardization of their kids
To work in faith-based health insurance companies

On the 11th day of Bushmas my President gave to me
War against....somebody
Over in....someplace
To teach a lesson and save our face
Taking our $300, and our fuzzy feeling
And our bill of rights
Here we go to war,
I think we all know what it's for
To defend our lack of a democracy

On the 12th day of Bushmas
My President gave to me
Deficit spending so they can pay back
Those who really suffered from the attack
Oil billionaires
It will trickle down he tells us
And we must be tough
Only terrorists refuse to buy more stuff!

Back in the early 80's I heard a version of 12 Days where the lyrics were all fairly normal but the guy who got to sing the Partridge part was very very drunk and at one point just managed to stammer out 'and a p, and p, and a p, oh heck it was a big bird that made a heck of a mess'. I heard it on the radio up in Northern Canada, can't remember who did it. Anyone?

Jon Campbell of RI, USA wrote "the 12-steps of Christmas" which I posted about here years ago. It's hilarious. I still haven't found the lyrics, but here's what I (vaguely) recall:

one damp basement
two bumperstickers
three cups of coffee
four ????
SER-REN-IT-TEE
etc...

It might be a good companion piece to the "12 Drinks" versions above.

day or
the eleventh day, but I want donuts!
D: OK, the song's over! Merry Christmas, everybody!
B: ...or, on the twelfth day, you could've got me a DOZEN donuts...
D: So,..go out to the stores and get some presents!
B: You could've gone down, to, like, the good donut shops where you
buy a
dozen, you get another one free, and then it'd be thirteen for the
"Thirteen Days of Christmas"!
D: Next Christmas, you can get me a chain-saw!
B: Take off!
(As music fades:)
D: Boy, that song was a beauty. It...it moved me.
B: Yeah, I think it ranks up there with "Stairway to Heaven".
D: What?

I am desperately looking for the Penelope Keith version. Heard it on the way home from shopping on Saturday, and still can't stop laughing. Having been the partridge in the 4th grade Christmas play, it is one of my favourite Christmas songs, along with all of the wacked out versions. Anyone remember the Donny and Marie "2 falling gloves..." version? BTW: what do you get when you type "Penelope Keith partridge" into Google?

The version I heard (mid seventies) was slightly different:

Ten tattered tits
Nine gnawn-off nipples
Eight 'airy arseholes

The late Dermot Morgan, who played Father Ted, recorded a very funny version, mostly spoken where he's sending all these gifts to a lady and in the form of her letters in reply she's at first very grateful for the Partridge, up to the gold rings, then she's gradually getting more and moe annoyed e.g "I suppose you think it was funny sending those ten feckin Lords a leaping all over the place, they scared the life out of the six Frenc hens" or something like that. It must be one of the most Parodied X'mas Songs ever ;)

Date: 01 Dec 10 - 05:33 PM

Day One

Dear Nuala,
Thank you very much for your lovely present of a partridge in a pear-tree. We're getting the hang of feeding the partridge now, although it was difficult at first to win its confidence. It bit the mother rather badly on the hand but they're good friends now and we're keeping the pear-tree indoors in a bucket. Thank you again.
Yours affectionately,
Gobnait O'Lúnasa

Day Two

Dear Nuala,
I cannot tell you how surprised we were to hear from you so soon again and to receive your lovely present of two turtle doves. You really are too kind. At first the partridge was very jealous and suspicious of the doves and they had a terrible row the night the doves arrived. We had to send for the vet but the birds are okay again and the stitches are due to some out in a week or two. The vet's bill was £8 but the mother is over her annoyance now and the doves and the partridge are watching the telly from the pear-tree as I write.
Yours ever,
Gobnait

Day Three

Dear Nuala,
We must be foremost in your thoughts. I had only posted my letter when the three French hens arrived. There was another sort-out between the hens and the doves, who sided with the partridge, and the vet had to be sent for again. The mother was raging because the bill was £16 this time but she has almost cooled down. However, the fact that the birds' droppings keep falling down on her hair whilen she's watching the telly, doesn't help matters. Thanking you for your kindness.
I remain,
Your Gobnait

Day Four

Dear Nuala,
You mustn't have received my last letter when you were sending us the four calling birds. There was pandemonium in the pear-tree again last night and the vet's bill was £32. The mother is on sedation as I write. I know you meant no harm and remain your close friend.
Gobnauit

Day Five

Nuala,
Your generosity knows no bounds. Five gold rings ! When the parcel arrived I was scared stiff that it might be more birds, because the smell in the living-room is atrocious. However, I don't want to seem ungrateful for the beautiful rings.
Your affectionate friend,
Gobnait

Day Six

Nuala,
What are you trying to do to us ? It isn't that we don't appreciate your generosity but the six geese have not alone nearly murdered the calling birds but they laid their eggs on top of the vet's head from the pear-tree and his bill was £68 in cash ! My mother is munching 60 grains of Valium a day and talking to herself in a most alarming way. You must keep your feelings for me in check.
Gobnait

Day Seven

Nuala,
We are not amused by your little joke. Seven swans-a-swimming is a most romantic idea but not in the bath of a private house. We cannot use the bathroom now because they've gone completely savage and rush the door every time we try to enter. If things go on this way, the mother and I will smell as bad as the living-room carpet. Please lay off. It is not fair.
Gobnait

Day Eight

Nuala,
Who the hell do you think gave you the right to send eight, hefty maids-a-milking here, to eat us out of house and home ? Their cattle are all over the front lawn and have trampled the hell out of the mother's rose-beds. The swans invaded the living-room in a sneak attack and the ensuing battle between them and the calling birds, turtle doves, French hens and partridge make the Battle of the Somme seem like Wanderly Wagon. The mother is on a bottle of whiskey a day, as well as the sixty grains of Valium. I'm very annoyed with you.
Gobnait

Day Nine

Listen you louser !
There's enough pandemonium in this place night and day without nine drummers drumming, while the eight flaming maids-a-milking are beating my poor, old alcoholic mother out of her own kitchen and gobbling everything in sight. I'm warning you, you're making an enemy of me.
Gobnait

Day Ten

Listen manure-face,
I hope you'll be haunted by the strains of ten pipers piping which you sent to torment us last night. They were aided in their evil work by those maniac drummers and it wasn't a pleasant sight to look out the window and see eight hefty maids-a-milking pogo-ing around with the ensuing punk-rock uproar. My mother has just finished her third bottle of whiskey, on top of a hundred and twenty four grains of Valium. You'll get yours !
Gobnait O'Lúnasa

Day Eleven

You have scandalised my mother, you dirty Jezebel,
It was bad enough to have eight maids-a-milking dancing to punk music on the front lawn but they've now been joined by your friends ~ the eleven Lords-a-leaping and the antics of the whole lot of them would leave the most decadent days of the Roman Empire looking like "Outlook". I'll get you yet, you ould bag !

Day Twelve

Listen slurry head,
You have ruined our lives. The twelve maidens dancing turned up last night and beat the living daylights out of the eight maids-a-milking, 'cos they found them carrying on with the eleven Lords-a-leaping. Meanwhile, the swans got out of the living-room, where they'd been hiding since the big battle, and savaged hell out of the Lords and all the Maids. There were eight ambulances here last night, and the local Civil Defence as well. The mother is in a home for the bewildered and I'm sitting here, up to my neck in birds' droppings, empty whiskey and Valium bottles, birds' blood and feathers, while the flaming cows eat the leaves off the pear-tree. I'm a broken man.
Gobnait O'Lúnasa

London, England. Late 60's variation...

Twelve tattered twats
Eleven lazy lesbians
Ten Girl Guides
Nine gnawed-off nipples
Eight useless queers
Seven sex-starved spinsters
Six upright figures
Five choir boys
Four Boy Scouts
Three dirty whores
Two bog-house doors
And my Lord Fortescue of Forleigh

We used to sing this in Scotland, can't remember the rest - but this version scans nice:
7 Swansea strippers
6 geezers layin'
5 old queers ...
4 call girls
3 French maids
2 Turkish dwarves
and Lord Montague of Beuliegh

Here's a later clip of Fay McKay performing the song live:

12 Daze of Christmas

Just in time for the Holidays!

Just for completeness you understand: here's my version of the bawdy one from the 60s
12 twats a twitching
11 leaping lesbians
10 tattered testicles
9 gnawed off nipples
8 aching arseholes
7 sex-starved spinsters
6 convicted vicars
5 choir boys
4 fornicators
3 French whores
2 shithouse doors
and my Lord Montague of Beaulieu (Bewley)

Quite topical 5&6 in some ways in Europe
