12 Days of Christmas – Bob & Doug McKenzie

“12 Days of Christmas” Lyrics

[Bob]  On the first day of Christmas
my true love gave to me: a beer
[Doug]  On the second day of Christmas
my true love gave to me two turtlenecks
[Bob]  And a beer.  (Okay…)
On the third day of Christmas
my true love gave to me: three French toast
[Doug]  Two turtlenecks,
[Bob]  And a beer.  (Okay…)
[Doug]  There should be more there, eh?
[Bob]  Where?  On the… go.
[Doug]  Fourth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me: four pounds of back bacon,
[Bob]  Three French toast
[Doug]  Two turtlenecks
[Bob]  And a beer
[Doug]  In a tree.  See, you need more
[Bob]  Fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: five golden touques!
[Doug]  Four pounds of back bacon,
[Bob]  Three French toast
[Doug]  Two turtlenecks
[Bob]  And a beer, what was it?
[Together]  In a tree!
[Bob]  Okay, on the sixth… go
[Doug]  Of Christmas, my true love gave to me, six packs of two-four
[Bob & Background Singers]  Five golden touques!
[Doug]  Four pounds of back bacon,
[Bob]  Three French toast
[Doug]  Two turtlenecks
[Bob]  And a beer
[Together]  In a tree!
[Bob]  Okay
[Doug]  Okay
[Bob]  On the seventh day of Christmas
my true love gave to me: seven packs of smokes
[Doug]  Nice gift…oh, six packs of two-four
[Background Singers also sing]  “nice gift”
[Bob & Background Singers]  Five golden touques!
[Doug]  Four pounds of back bacon
[Bob]  Three French toast
[Doug]  Two turtlenecks
[Bob]  And a beer
[Together]  In a tree!
[Bob]  Right, I keep forgetting
[Doug]  Phew!  This should just be the two days of Christmas
it’s too hard for us!
[Bob]  Um…
[Doug]  Go, hoser
[Bob]  Oh
[Together] Eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
[Doug]  Eight comic books
[Bob & Doug and the background singers]  Seven packs of smokes, six packs of two-four
[Bob and Doug don’t keep up with the background singers and quit singing]
[Background Singers]  Five golden touques!
Four pounds of back bacon
three French toast
two turtlenecks
[All]  And a beer
[Doug]  On my tree!
[Bob]  Yeah.  That beer’s empty.
Okay. Day,
[Background Singers]  Twelve!
[Bob]  Uh, twelve
[Doug]  Good day, and welcome to day twelve
[Background Singers]  Five golden touques!
[All]  Four pounds of back bacon
three French toast
two turtlenecks
and a beer, in a tree!
[Bob]  Beauty, eh?
[Doug]  Where’d you learn to do that?
[Bob]  Uh, albums.
[Doug]  Boy.  So, like, that’s our song, Merry Christmas
[Bob]  Merry Christmas!
[Doug]  And good day!
[Bob]  Good day, everybody.  Happy New Year, too.
Sheesh.  Okay, you know what you left out?
[Doug]  What?
[Bob]  Donuts – I told you to get me donuts!
Either on the ninth day or the tenth day,
or the eleventh day, I wanted donuts!
[Doug]  Okay, the song’s over.
[Bob]  But I want…
[Doug]  Merry Christmas, everybody!
[Bob]  Or on the twelfth day, you coulda got me a dozen donuts.
[Doug]  So, go out to the stores, and get some presents
[Bob]  You coulda gone down to, like, the good donut shop
where if you buy a dozen, you get another one free,
and then thirteen for the thirteen days of Christmas
[Doug]  Well, next Christmas, I’ll get me a chainsaw
[Bob]  Take off!
[Doug]  Boy, that song was a beauty.  It moved me
[Bob]  Yeah, I think it ranks up there with Stairway to Heaven
[Doug]  Wha-?
