: write a program that prints the full lyrics to the Twelve Days of Christmas, but be about it.

Choose whatever programming language you like. Use the language’s idiosyncrasies to your advantage.

For example, in C you might blend a for-loop with a switch-statement and liberally use case fallthrough. In BASIC you might use computed GOTO. In HTML+CSS you might use counters and selectors to do the numbering. In SQL you might use SQL.

Go.

Submissions so far in: awk, C, Clojure, Haskell, JavaScript, LINQ, Lua, nu, Perl, PostgreSQL, Powershell, Python, Ruby, Rust, Terraform, XQuery, XSLT, as well as a hardware implementation on an Arduino and a couple of very cool visualizations.
