• On the first day of Christmas my dog and I brought back a partridge in an old sack.

  Second day...

  Two moor hens

  And so on....

  Three lame ducks

  Four bald coots

  Five poached eggs

  Six bootiful turkeys*

  Seven pleasant pheasants

  Eight stoned crows

  Nine breeding rabbits – all with dirty habits

  Ten hares receding

  Eleven salmon smoking

  Twelve stags a-rutting

  Final verse....

  On the thirteenth day of Christmas my dog and I got caught with, etc....

  We got taken to court and tried
  and spent the next fourteen days inside.

  * Bootiful turkeys = a reference to Bernard Matthews

• I heard this just once, way back in the late 1980s, and have been searching for it ever since. Thank you so much for posting it here!

• Hilarious and very talented.

• Max Ferguson as well Alan Mc Fee used to play this each Christmas year. Do miss those two those talents are nairr seen anymore .

• Only discovered the Kippers recently. Couldn't stop laughing!

• Thanks for posting

• Great! Now, if someone would put up The Wild Mounting Time.

• This nice thing about this is that it is not only funny but it is excellent music. The Kipper Family are very good musicians.

• I remember seeing the Kippers performing back in the 1980's. Good to hear them again. And I think their songs are meant to be spoofs of folk songs, just in case you think it's a serious variation.
