On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
Two turtle doves
Three French hens
Four calling birds
FIVE GOLD RINGS
Six geese a laying
Seven swans a swimming
Eight maids a milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten lords a leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming
On the first day of Buddhmas my songsaa gave to me
A coconut in a palm tree
Two turtles stuffed
Three French men
Four calling phones
FIVE COLD DRINKS
Six mines delaying
Seven dolphins swimming
Eight coconuts milking
Nine Apsara dancing
Ten prices leaping
Eleven cyclos cycling
Twelve drummers waking you at some ridiculous time in the morning for another bloody wedding
On the first day of International Transparency Fortnight the regime gave to me
A Khmer Riche with flatscreen tv
Two more terms in office
Three French exiles
Four by-fours procured
FIVE INFORMAL PAYMENTS
Sex tourists laying
Seven coffers brimming
Eight ministries milking
Nine beergirls dancing
Ten druglords reaping
Eleven gaspipes piping
Twelve Hummers humming
Ah! Oly the lyricist!!
