On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me

three power chords
two tiny amps
and a cartridge in a bare tree

Sorry.

Anybody want to take the next verse?

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,

Four months of lessons,
Three power chords,
Two tiny amps,
And a cartridge in a bare tree....

...Six stomp pedals...

Seven concert tickets,
Six stomp pedals,
Five sets of strings,
Four months of lessons,
Three power chords,
Two tiny amps,
And a cartridge in a bare tree.

Ten strummers strumming,

Eleven singers singing,
Ten strummers strumming,

Eight notes a playing,

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Twelve bars of blues
Eleven singers singing,
Ten strummers strumming,
Nine picks a picking,
Eight notes a playing,
Seven concert tickets,
Six stomp pedals,
Five sets of strings,
Four months of lessons,
Three power chords,

And a cartridge in a bare tree.

Yayyyyyy - we did it!

Nice song. :D

Perhaps, in honour of the thread starter, the line that originally goes "Five gold rings" could be sung as:

"Five old Rics..." :P

Since it is the day AFTER Christmas, here is an alternate (and more accurate) last line of Twas the Night Before Christmas:

And his family heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
My God the credit card bills are enormous,
I'll have to work all night!

Bah humbug!!!! :wink:

Oh, I don't know..... you could form your own band. :wink:

Think of the choreography possibilities with a Lead Ric, A Rhythm Ric, a Bass Ric and a Singer Ric, all doing synchronised moves up front. Could be quite eye-popping. :shock:
