"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a traditional and lengthy English Christmas carol. The song is based on the premise that the singer receives one gift per day from his or her "true love" over the 12 days immediately following Christmas Day. Each verse repeats all of the previous gifts listed; thus, one could say that the singer receives 364 gifts total -- or one a day until next Christmas, when the process begins all over again. The Muppets have recorded many versions of the song, most lasting well over four minutes.
The Sesame Street Muppets recorded a version of the song for the 1975 album Merry Christmas from Sesame Street. In this version, the lyrics were adjusted to fit the characters singing.
Cookie Monster -- "One delicious cookie"
Elmo -- "Two baby frogs"
Prairie Dawn -- "Three footballs"
Grover -- "Four wooly bears"
Bert -- "Five argyle socks"
Ernie -- "Six rubber duckies"
Oscar -- "Seven rusty trashcans"
Count von Count -- "Eight counts a' counting"
Big Bird -- "Nine pounds of birdseed"
Telly -- "Ten triangles"
Herry -- "Eleven broken buildings"
Mr. Snuffleupagus -- "Twelve.... I can't remember!"
