Album: The Ever Decreasing Circle – Artist: The Kipper Family
On the first day of Christmas my dog and I brought back
A partridge in an old sack.
Two moor hens
Three lame ducks
Four bald coots
Five poached eggs
Six bootiful turkeys
Seven pleasant pheasants
Eight stoned crows
Nine breeding rabits – all with dirty habits
Ten hares receding
Eleven salmon smoking
Twelve stags a-rutting
On the thirteenth day of Christmas my dog and I got caught with:
Twelve stags a-rutting
etc.
Spoken: We got taken to court and tried
and spent the next fourteen days inside.
(four years later they devoted a whole album to xmas: Arrest These Merry Gentlemen)
