   For the uninitiated who want to sing this version around their Christmas tree (also approved for Hanukkah celebrations), here is how the traditional “12 Days” is sung:  You sing each of the song’s 12 lines, in ascending numerical order.   But then you only repeat the “gifts” already received.   For example:  Start the song with “On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a partridge in a pear tree.”  

But here is how your verse would sound in mid-song:  “On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: six geese-a-laying, five go-o-o-ld rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.”  

Try that format with today’s creation, below.  Note that singers are expected to dra-a-ag out the syllables on the gift of the “5th Day of Christmas,”  in this case “Five Gor – such – es.” 

– On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…

       –  A tax cut for you and for me.

– On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

         – Two Matt Lauers leer- ing .

-On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

       –  a Three percent growth rate.

– On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

       –  Four Cuomos preaching.

– On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

       – Fi-i-i-ve  Gor – such – es.

– On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

        –  Six Harvey gropings

– On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

        –  Seven Russian raidings.

– On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

         – Eight Biden shotguns.

– On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

          –    Nine fake newspapers.

–  On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

          –  Ten Clinton scandals.

–  On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

           –  Eleven tweeted insults.

            – Twelve crypto-Commies.
