I really enjoyed this idea, and a few of us here tried to sing the song - but had difficulty. Some of the lines that are very funny unfortunately don't scan the same as the original song. We came up with the following filk that can match the rhythm of "The 12 Days of Christmas".
If you want to sing along, just remember that some words are accented or stretched to keep in time with the music. For example, "pear tree" is replaced with "Aery" so you have to sing "Air-ee"... once it lines up it can be very catchy.
I hope you enjoy!
