So you're heading for your 'ohana Christmas party — maybe even tonight's office celebration — and you're worried about the moment when one and all join in song, dashing out the Hawaiian-kine "Twelve Days of Christmas."

You have trepidation. You don't know the countdown by heart.

You're not alone, judging by our mailbox full of reader requests to print the lyrics.

The tune — adapted by Eaton "Bob" Magoon, Ed Kenney and Gordon N. Phelps — replaces the partridge in the pear tree with one mynah bird in one papaya tree. How local is that?

'NUMBAH ONE DAY OF CHRISTMAS'

1. Numbah one day of Christmas
My tutu gave to me
One mynah bird in one papaya tree.

2. Numbah two day of Christmas
My tutu gave to me
Two coconuts and
One mynah bird in one papaya tree.

3. Numbah three day of Christmas
My tutu gave to me
Three dried squid
Two coconuts and
One mynah bird in one papaya tree.

4. Numbah four day of Christmas
My tutu gave to me
Four flower lei,
Three dried squid
Two coconuts and
One mynah bird in one papaya tree.

5. Numbah five day of Christmas
My tutu gave to me
Five big fat pigs
Four flower lei
Three dried squid,
Two coconuts and
One mynah bird in one papaya tree.

12. Numbah 12 day of Christmas
My tutu gave to me
12 televisions
(continue verses 11 through two)
One mynah bird in one papaya tree.
