Original text and translations
English text
. . . on the twelfth day of Christmas the choir processed in song
and twelve candles dripped
eleven altos flipped
and ten lines were clipped
and nine gins were sipped
and eight crept to the crypt
and seven hymn books slipped
and six basses quipped
and five sang in tune!
and four cassocks ripped
and three lost their script
and two tenors tripped
and the soloist got it all wrong.
