G
Hey, Merry Christmas, Adam!
Merry Christmas, Fred!
Merry Christmas to everyone
Yeah man
You having a good year?
Yeah, It just feels good to be next to you here on the holidays
Hearing you say merry Christmas
It just warms my heart, man
It’s like soul food, like fired okra
Dude, I’m having a great holiday this year, It’s awesome
Yeah man, so you wanna sing for these people or what?
Yeah, here we go
Okay
G
On the first day of Christmas
C G
My true love gave to me
G C D G
A partridge in a pear tree
G
I don’t even know what a partridge is, to be honest
A partridge is a bird
I think it’s a bird that doesn’t fly
Like Danny Bonaduce?
Um, no, it’s —
He’s ripped, ripped I’m telling you
I heard he’s a little, you know, fallen on the deep end, maybe
Oh, yeah, well
He’s gonna kick my ass now
No, it’s against that napoleon complex, he’s short
G
So, on the, on the second day of Christmas
C G
My true love gave to me two turtle doves
G C D G
And a partridge in a pear tree
G
Turtle doves?
They’re nice
Do they have shells?
Uh, I don’t know
G
But, on the third day of Christmas
C G
My true love gave to me
D
Three French hens
D
Two turtle doves
G C D G
And a partridge in a pear tree
G
From now on can you sing
“And a Danny Bonaduce”?
[Laughs]
G
On the fourth day of Christmas
C G
My true love gave to me
D
Four calling birds
D
Three French hens
D
Two turtle doves
G C D G
And a Danny Bonaduce
G
That’s good!
Yeah, yeah, it works, the syllables
G
Yeah, so I started to wonder
If my true love, my old lady
Was going to get me anything
Other than a bunch of birds
Yeah, they’re all, like, pooping everywhere and stuff, it’s gross
They’re hard to clean up after
So far she got me four calling birds,
French hens, turtle doves
The French hens, which are the French hens
They’re eating all your cheese
Drinking up all your wine
Like all hours of the day
I love France
So, I was wondering when
She was going to get me something good
G
And on the fifth day of Christmas
C G
My true love gave to me
G C D
Five golden rings
[G & D Lick]
Nice!
Yeah, I was finally happy
G
Four calling birds
C
Three French hens
D
Two turtle doves
G C D G
And a Danny Bonaduce
G
So, like, with the five golden rings
That’s kinda nice
Yeah, but on the sixth day
She started getting-
Like Lil Wayne
Or what’s another rapper
That has like a bunch of silly jewelry?
Um, I don’t know any, man
G
But, on the sixth day
It kinda went downhill
And the seventh cause she got me
Six geese a-laying
Geese Ar-laying?
Like laying down?
No, like, geese that are laying
Like, ohhh, like
That’s gross
Yeah, I don’t know about that
And then on the seventh day-
I often wonder how geese would go about doing that
If you’re picking up what I’m putting down
I-I don’t want to talk about it, man
Okay
G
On the seventh day?
Seventh day
Seven swans swimming
More birds!
Swimming?
I hate it
Like in ponds or in your bathtub?
G
On the eight day it got really weird
Cause on the eight day of Christmas
C G
My true love gave to me
D
Eight maids a-milking
What?!
Yeah!
What, are they milking the geese cause they’re laying?
D
I think they’re like lactating or something
I don’t get that
Yeah
I’m not into it
G
But, on the ninth day of Christmas
C G
My true love gave to me
D
Nine ladies dancing
Nice! Okay, cool
Oh, well that explains the maids a-milking
No, these were like exotic dancers
Like you can see on the internet
Yeah, it was nice
There was like one of those poles and all that stuff
Yeah, but this is your old lady
That’s getting you all these things
That’s kinda weird
I know, but she’s looking out for me, you know
Tenth day, tenth day
Okay
D
On the tenth day it got crazy again
Cause she gave me ten lords a -leaping
Like the dark lords?
I don’t know
That’s so weird
D
And then the eleventh day
Pipers piping
Pipers piping?
These are, by far, the strangest gifts I have ever received
I don’t understand
Wait, like, laying pipe?
No, that’s the geese that are laying pipe
Oh, well maybe they’re laying it with the pipers
Which would be weird all together
G
But, on the twelfth day of Christmas
This is the last day
C D
My true love gave to me
D
Twelve drummers drumming
Everybody could use a good drummer
Yeah, I could use twelve drummers
Yeah
The Grateful Dead had two drummers
Dude, Slipknot has like ten
Yeah
Did you get to, like, choose which drummers
Or are they just studio guys?
I think they were pretty bad ass
Oh, cool
I mean, not that Mark’s not
I mean, Mark’s kicking some ass
Yeah
You know
Was he one of the twelve?
Um, I don’t know, but
D
So, let’s go down the list
And finish this godforsaken song off
Oh, okay
And wish everyone a very merry Christmas
D
Twelve drummers drumming
D
Eleven pipers piping
D
Ten lords a-leaping
D
Nine ladies dancing
Let’s give it up for the ladies dancing
