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 say 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 “Fi-i-ve years of high growth.”
