The Lyrics
A hilarious choral disaster, composed and performed by David W Solomons on October 15th 2005.
...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.
and twelve candles dripped

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.

Pretty good rhyming ten of 'em but I'm not sure it works very well in this song. You might want to try the same rhymes and the same theme in a different song that lends itself a little better to end-rhymes. Also it's a little awkward from a singing standpoint when the original's line ends in a two-syllable word and yours ends in a one syllable word. Looking forward to the next one.
HI Mr Spelling Cop Sorry. (But then, maybe it's a new word traditonal = in a traditional tone rather than being atonal ? Well, er... maybe not!)
Hi 2nz I don't know if you actually heard the performance or just looked at the words?
Aha I see what I did wrong! I should have submitted this under recordings rather than Lyrics. I have now re-submitted under recordings.
Ah, yes. All I did was look at the words in this case. I'll check out the recording when I get to a computer that has audio.
So where are the remaining 11 verses?!
You still left out the second "i" in traditional. Next time spell it Tradishunull.
CRAP!
I wonder if a troll left that comment.
