So I was double checking the song just now because I want to get my son a gift for each day and I'm going to tie it in with the theme of the song. Yeah, I missed the first 2 days here but if I were back in N America I would've only missed one so far so I'm going with that. Not like he'll know the difference anyway.
Anyway, I look on Wikipedia for the lyrics and see this:
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...4 Colly Birds
WTF is a Colly Bird? I mean I know what it is now because I looked it up but this is definitely not how I learned the song. I can clearly see our little carol books we'd get each year with the words 4 CALLING birds. Not damn Colly birds.
This is seriously tripping me out now. Did my little small town school in Canada lead me astray? I have BELTED out the words to this song countless times when I've been schmuckered on Xmas Eve. It's calling bird, right? Right?????!!
