 The Twelve Days of Colonel White's Christmas


Based on a 1780 English carol



On the first day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Too much egg-nog and wine.

On the second day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Ochre laughing,

and too much egg-nog and wine.

On the third day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the fourth day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the fifth day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Green sing-ing madly,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the sixth day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Mel-ody a humming,

Green sing-ing madly,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the seventh day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Har-mo-ny supersonic,

Mel-ody a humming,

Green sing-ing madly,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the eighth day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Blue blushing bad-ly,

Har-mo-ny supersonic,

Mel-ody a humming,

Green sing-ing madly,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the ninth day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

A very red Symphony,

Blue blushing bad-ly,

Har-mo-ny supersonic,

Mel-ody a humming,

Green sing-ing madly,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the ninth day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Fawn feeling frisky,

A very red Symphony,

Blue blushing bad-ly,

Har-mo-ny supersonic,

Mel-ody a humming,

Green sing-ing madly,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the eleventh day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Rhapsody in raptures,

Fawn feeling frisky,

A very red Symphony,

Blue blushing bad-ly,

Har-mo-ny supersonic,

Mel-ody a humming,

Green sing-ing madly,

Des-tiny dan-cing,

Grey a grin-ning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much egg-nog and wine.

On the twelfth day of Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Scarlet ecstatic,

Rhapsody in raptures,

Fawn feeling frisky,

A very red Symphony,

Blue blushing bad-ly,

Harmony supersonic,

Melody a humming,

Green singing madly,

Des-tiny dancing,

Grey a grinning,

Ochre laughing,

And too much eggnog and wine.

And on the day after Christmas

Colonel White did find,

Magenta behind it all.
