On the Twelfth day of Christmas, the Silver State gave to me:
Twelve Battle Born flags flying
Eleven Fremont Cannons blasting
Ten feet of snow a-falling
Nine neon lights a-lighting
Eight trains a-railing
Seven lakes a-swimming
Six zephyrs blowing
Five golden nuggets
Four calling blue birds
Three picon punches
Two tumbleweeds
And a chukar in a pinyon pine tree.
