On the First Day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me: a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the Second Day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me:
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the third day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the fifth day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the sixth day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Six sushi rolls
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the seventh day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Seven fish a-frying
Six sushi rolls
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the eighth day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Eight Krispy Kremes
Seven fish a-frying
Six sushi rolls
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the ninth day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Nine chocolate puddings
Eight Krispy Kremes
Seven fish a-frying
Six sushi rolls
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the tenth day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Ten shrimp for dipping
Nine chocolate puddings
Eight Krispy Kremes
Seven fish a-frying
Six sushi rolls
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Eleven sugar cookies
Ten shrimp for dipping
Nine chocolate puddings
Eight Krispy Kremes
Seven fish a-frying
Six sushi rolls
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my stomach asked of me
Twelve pork tamales
Eleven sugar cookies
Ten shrimp for dipping
Nine chocolate puddings
Eight Krispy Kremes
Seven fish a-frying
Six sushi rolls
Five fruit cakes!
Four Brussels sprouts
Three pecan pies
Two deviled eggs
And a baked ham inside a turkey
A baked ham inside a turkey.
