The Lyrics
I am Aunt Tessie's favorite nephew, so she always give me lots of presents for Christmas. But Aunt Tessie's quite the eccentric. Let me tell you what she has given me, to the tune of an African American spiritual.
I will spare time and bandwidth typing the complete format of the tune, but you can get the general feel of the song at this Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT9s2_JhPxE&feature=related. (Note: "Harry & David" is a gourmet food mail-order catalog company. "Midas" is a automobile maintenance company.)

I got gifts from Aunt Tessie
What did she send me?
Well, she had sent me something good
Directly from Harry & David
A boxed, baked, bone-in Honey Ham!
I got gifts from Aunt Tessie
What did she send me?
Well, she had sent me '2 for 2'
Car touch-ups from Midas
And directly from Harry & David
A boxed, baked, bone-in Honey Ham!
(Repeat in descending order...)
3 cans of fondue cheese mix
4 coupons for lunch at Noodles 'n More
5 unidentified creatures
6 of her picks of the albums by Styx
7 lurid novels by Ira Levin
8 small dinner plates so I could lose weight
9 bottled wines made by Larry Fine
10 pairs of woolen oven mitts
11 tix for the L.A. Raiders
12 little Doggie Whistles
...and a boxed, baked, bone-in Honey Ham!
What did she send me?
Well, she had sent me something good

Hilarious idea to update the 12 Days Of Christmas to a diffrenent song, but I had to take off a point on pacing, because although it was funny the parody was incomplete.

That was awesome! 5s
5s for your enumeration.
YOU'RE the HAM !
Very creative... :)
That sounds more believable than maids a milking, geese a laying and so on. By the way, years ago on a game show - I've Got a Secret - the panelists took turns singing The Twelve Days of Christmas and one of them sang, "Six geese a gaying".
Cute idea... have to admit that the thought of "woolen oven mitts" is comedic on its own, given that wool doesn't stand heat very well.
