Note: "s" is sherman, "c" is the chorus and "b" is both
S: on the first day of christmas my true love gave to me
A japanese transistor radio
C: on the second day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: green polka dot pajamas
C: and a japanese transistor radio
S: it's a nakashuma
C: on the third day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: a calendar book with the name of my insurance man
C: green polka dot pajamas and a japanese transistor radio
S: it's the mark 4 model - that's the one that's discontinued
C: on the fourth day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: a simulated alligator wallet
C: a calendar book with the name of my insurance man,
Green polka dot pajamas and a japanese transistor radio
S: and it comes with a leatherette case with holes in it
So you can listen right through the case
C: on the fifth day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: a statue of a lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be
C: a simulated alligator wallet, a calendar book with the name
Of my insurance man, green polka dot pajamas and a
Japanese transistor radio
S: and it has a wire with a thing on one end that you can stick
In your ear and a thing on the other end you can't stick
Anywhere because it's bent
C: on the sixth day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: a hammered aluminum nutcracker, and all that other stuff
C: and a japanese transistor radio
On the seventh day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: a pink satin pillow that said "san diego" with fringe all around it
And all that other stuff
C: and a japanese transistor radio
On the eighth day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: an indoor plastic birdbath
C: all that other stuff
S: and a japanese transistor radio
C: on the ninth day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: a pair of teakwood showercloths
C: and a japanese transistor radio
On the tenth day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: a chromium combination manicure, scissors and cigarette lighter
C: and a japanese transistor radio
On the eleventh day of christmas my true love gave to me
S: an automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on television
But not when you get it home
C: and a japanese transistor radio
S: on the twelfth day of christmas although it may seem strange
On the twelfth day of christmas i'm going to exchange
An automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on television
But not when you get it home
C: a chromium combination manicure, scissors and cigarette lighter
S: a pair of teakwood showercloths
C: an indoor plastic birdbath
S: a pink satin pillow that said "san diego" with fringe all around it
C: a hammered aluminum nutcracker
S: a statue of a lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be
C: a simulated alligator wallet
S: a calendar book with the name of my insurance man
C: green polka dot pajamas
B: and a japanese transistor radio
S: merry christmas, everybody!
