;Task: Write a program that outputs the lyrics of the Christmas carol ''The Twelve Days of Christmas''. The lyrics can be found [http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/christmas_carols/the_twelve_days_of_christmas.html here].
(You must reproduce the words in the correct order, but case, format, and punctuation are left to your discretion.)

ActionScript
This program outputs the lyrics to a TextField object. The text field can be scrolled using the mouse wheel (Windows only) or by using the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard.

Alternatively, in a functional style of JavaScript, we can define the ancient song "strPrepn the lstOrdinal[i] strUnit of strHoliday" as an expression, and return that expression in a human-legible and machine-parseable JSON string translation, for further analysis and processing :-)
```JavaScript
JSON.stringify(
(function (
strPrepn,
strHoliday,
strUnit,
strRole,
strProcess,
strRecipient
) {
var lstOrdinal =
'first second third fourth fifth sixth\
seventh eighth ninth tenth eleventh twelfth'
.split(/\s+/),
lngUnits = lstOrdinal.length,
lstGoods =
'A partridge in a pear tree.\
Two turtle doves\
Three french hens\
Four calling birds\
Five golden rings\
Six geese a-laying\
Seven swans a-swimming\
Eight maids a-milking\
Nine ladies dancing\
Ten lords a-leaping\
Eleven pipers piping\
Twelve drummers drumming'
.split(/\s{2,}/),
lstReversed = (function () {
var lst = lstGoods.slice(0);
return (lst.reverse(), lst);
})(),
strProvenance = [strRole, strProcess, strRecipient + ':'].join(' '),
strPenultimate = lstReversed[lngUnits - 2] + ' and',
strFinal = lstGoods[0];
return lstOrdinal.reduce(
function (sofar, day, i) {
return sofar.concat(
[
[
[ // abstraction of line 1
strPrepn,
'the',
lstOrdinal[i],
strUnit,
'of',
strHoliday
].join(' '),
strProvenance
].concat( // reversed descent through memory
(i > 1 ? [lstGoods[i]] : []).concat(
lstReversed.slice(
lngUnits - i,
lngUnits - 2
)
).concat( // penultimate line ends with 'and'
[
strPenultimate,
strFinal
].slice(i ? 0 : 1)
)
)
]
);
}, []
);
})(
'On', 'Christmas', 'day', 'my true love', 'gave to', 'me'
), null, 2
);
```
Note that the Google Closure compiler's translation of this would be half the size, but rather less legible.
(It does make interesting suggestions though – the semi-colon segmentation of the verses below is a trick that might be worth remembering).
```JavaScript

d = c.length,
e =

.split(";"),
g = function () {
var b = e.slice(0);
return b.reverse(), b;
}(),
p = [f, m, n + ":"].join(" "),
q = g[d - 2] + " and",
r = e[0];
return c.reduce(function (b, f, a) {
return b.concat([[[h, "the", c[a], l, "of", k].join(" "), p].concat((1 <
a ? [e[a]] : []).concat(g.slice(d - a, d - 2)).concat([q, r].slice(a ?
0 : 1)))]);
}, []);

## Racket
This version:
* doesn't capitalise the word '''Twelfth'''
* capitalises the '''French''' (in French hen)
* capitalised '''True Love''' as it may save me a lot of grief when I get home.
* British Variant: changes '''golden''' to '''go-old''' rings. Anyone who still has enough breath left to sing the second syllable after sustaining the first syllable of '''golden''' simply wasn't making enough effort in the first place.
* British Variant: capitalises '''FIVE GO-OLD RINGS''' since it needs to be sung at top volume. If you want to change this back; the source is there. But I guarantee you won't have as much fun singing it.

Seven packs of smokes
Six packs of two-four
Five golden touques
Four pounds of backbacon
Three french toast
Two turtlenecks and
A beer, in a tree.
On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me:
Ten feet of snow
Nine back up singers
Eight comic books
Seven packs of smokes
Six packs of two-four
Five golden touques
Four pounds of backbacon
Three french toast
Two turtlenecks and
A beer, in a tree.
On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me:
Eleven hosers hosing
Ten feet of snow
Nine back up singers
Eight comic books
Seven packs of smokes
Six packs of two-four
Five golden touques
Four pounds of backbacon
Three french toast
Two turtlenecks and
A beer, in a tree.
