Okay here's the original (or at least the one i know) version of The Twelve Days of Christmas:-
On the 1st day of Christmas my true love sent to me; a partridge in a pear tree.
On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love sent to me; two turtle doves
On the 3rd day of Christmas.....3 french hens
On the 4th day of Christmas....4 calling birds
" " 5th " " " 5 gold rings
" " 6th " " " 6 geese a-laying
" " 7th " " " 7 swans a-swimming
" " 8th " " " 8 maids a-milking
" " 9th " " " 9 ladies dancing
" " 10th " " " 10 lords a-leaping
" " 11th " " " 11 pipers piping
" " 12th " " " 12 drummers drumming
Suggestion for days 4, 2 and one:- 4 Koeniseggs (sorry can't spell it), 2 TR6's and James May in a Bentley.

moved from the fiction section
"Oh come all May faithful,
Joyful in a Triumph
Oh come ye, oh cooome ye
to Hammersmith
Come and behold him,
eating pie and drinking ale
oh come let us adore him,
oh come let us adore him,
oh come let us adore hiiim
Caaaptin slow"

Away round at Gambon no need for a bed the mysterious Stiggy laid down his domed head the clouds they confuse him he hangs like a bat some say his voice can be heard by the cat His skin's like a dophins he sucks moisture from ducks they say that his earwax gives delights to the turks We all love the Stiggy we think that he's ace and it's rather exciting that we can't see his face. this took way too much time  also should say it's to be sung to the tune of Away in a Manger |

To the tune of "We Three Kings", please enjoy what happens when my mind is left idle for any amount of time:
We 3 kings of Top Gear are,
Two in a plane, one in a car,
Flying our truffles over Brussels,
Racing each other home,
Ooooh, pilot of wonder, pilot of might,
Pilot who can not fly at night,
Landing in Lille, Hamonds not thrilled,
James may have to run this time,
Jeremy's rushing to get to the bar,
Broken toilets so pee's by his car,
The bus is so slow, James and Hammond scream go,
That Bugatti cant be far,
Ooooh Natwest's the finish, get truffles to dish,
No lift will go to the floor that they wish,
Jeremy won 'cos ran, that unbearable man,
Now James is sleeping so shhh.

Wonderful stuff. Last night they were playing 12 days of Xmas at the station and I was trying to remember our James May version. I was actually smiling at the station, which makes a change. ;D
