The Twelve Days of Christmas (Parody)
(Alan Sherman)

On the first day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
A Japanese transistor radio.

On the second day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
Green polka dot pajamas,
And a Japanese transistor radio.

 (It's a Nakashuma.)

On the third day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man,
Green polka dot pajamas,
And a Japanese transistor radio.
 (It's the Mark IV model. That's the one that's discontinued.)

On the fourth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
A simulated alligator wallet,
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man,
Green polka dot pajamas,
And a Japanese transistor radio.

 (And it comes in a Leatherette case with holes in it. So you could listen right
 through the case.)

On the fifth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
A statue of a lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be,
A simulated alligator wallet,
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man,
Green polka dot pajamas,
And a Japanese transistor radio.
 (And it has a wire with a thing on one end that you could stick in your ear, an
d a thing on the other end that you can't stick anywhere because it's bent.)

On the sixth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
A hammered aluminum nutcracker,
And all that other stuff,
And a Japanese transistor radio.

 [Continue until . . . ]

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
Although it may seem strange;
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
I'm going to exchange:
An automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on television but not w
hen you get it home,
A chromium combination manicure scissors and cigarette lighter,
A pair of teakwood shower clogs,
An indoor plastic birdbath,
A pink satin pillow that says ``San Diego'' with fringe all around it,
A hammered aluminum nutcracker,
A statue of a lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be,
A simulated alligator wallet,
A calendar book with the name of my insurance man,
Green polka dot pajamas,
And a Japanese transistor radio.
