A parody of the famous Christmas Carol to help set the season. Like any holiday celebrated by millions and millions of people, student transfer has its surprises and is celebrated by millions of people this year.
It is a cumulative song, in that each verse is built on the previous verses. It culminates on the twelfth day, when the gifts are 12 Drummers Drumming, 11 Pipers Piping, 10 Lords a-Leaping, 9 Ladies Dancing, 8 Maids a-Milking, 7 Swans a-Swimming, 6 Geese a-Laying, 5 Gold Rings, 4 Colly Birds (often given as "Calling Birds"), 3 French Hens, 2 Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
It has been one of the most popular and most-recorded Christmas songs throughout the past century. Now, let's try singing the CollegeTransfer.Net version.
