Australian version of Twelve days of Christmas. I found this on Wikipedia when I was researching all aspects of Christmas around the world including Christmas carols.
You can sing along, like karaoke, or copy down the words. The words appear in white on black at the bottom of the screen. You can also slide back the yellow oblong on the red line to repeat any part you want to hear again. Or leap to the end to twelve to hear/recap the song from 12 downwards.
1 An emu up a gum tree.
2 pink galahs
3 kookaburras l a u g h i n g.
4 k o a l a s cuddling
5 kangaroos
6 brolgas dancing
7 possums playing
8 dingoes digging
9 wombats working
10 lizards leaping
11 numbats nagging
12 parrots prattling
I must admit I had to look up a couple of the creatures. A bralga is a crane, like a flamingo but not pink, just black and white with a touch of pinky red on the back of the neck.
A galah is a pink parrot, very common in Australia. You can keep them as pets and teach them to talk. See videos on YouTube.
A numbat is a striped anteater.
