Checking my visitor log, I've noticed that quite a few found my blog by searching "12 groovy days of christmas lyrics", so in the spirit of Christmas (and of having visitors stay for longer) I searched out the lyrics and have posted them below.
There are some YouTubes of people performing it, but I'd like to keep the OGC performance as the only one in my mind.
-----Lyrics:
"12 Groovy Days of Christmas" by Greg Gilpin
Thinking back when my true love and I first met
One December in the nineteen seventies.
Twelve days of gifts so rare;
Each gift, none can compare.
These presents given I would like to share!
(Remember, this was the 70's, okay?)
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
An 8-track by the Partridge Family.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Two platform shoes, and an 8-track by the Partridge Family.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Three headbands, two platform shoes,
And an 8-track by the Partridge Family.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Four Volkswagen bugs, three headbands, two platform shoes,
And an 8-track by the Partridge Family.
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Five, five, golden mood rings - ooo, ooo,
Four Volkswagen bugs, three headbands, two platform shoes,
And an 8-track by the Partridge Family.
Five more days of groovy gifts! The postman came in shifts!
Ten sets of door beads, nine paisley blankets,
Eight disco balls, seven giant earrings, six leisure suits,
Five, five golden mood rings - ooo, ooo,
Four Volkswagen bugs, three headbands, two platform shoes,
And an 8-track by the Partridge Family.
And on the eleventh day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Eleven sticks of incense
to set my spirit free.
It's the final day of giving. The twelfth day ends this vamp.
My true love sends a present of twelve lava lamps,
Eleven sticks of incense, ten sets of door beads,
Nine paisley blankets, eight disco balls,
Seven giant earrings, six leisure suits,
Five, five, golden mood rings - ooo, ooo,
Four Volkswagen bugs, three head bands, two platform shoes,
And an 8-track by the Partridge Family.
Twelve days of gifts for me in those far out seventies.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas - seventies! Boogie down!

You need to put up music
For this song
Thanks for the lyrics! I had the music, and wanted the lyrics to write down the choreography we are doing, so this was great!
Correction on the first verse:
Twelve days of GIFTS so rare
Thank you so much for your feedback. I've made the correction above.
(As for posting the music: I couldn't find it at the few sites I scour for audio at, and I don't want to put up a YouTube of just anyone's cheesy rendition. I believe that the experience should be fresh, new, and live on stage for everyone's first.)

i sang this for a school concert a couple of years ago.
