In the twelfth kingdom

Beyond the twelfth sea

On the twelfth mountain

And near the twelfth stream

In castle number twelve

With twelve towers

Lived a beautiful princess named Twelveia



At noon, on the twelfth day of the twelfth month

Twelveia would be twelve years old!

So she sent her twelve knights

To twelve kingdoms

To invite twelve princes

And twelve princesses

To her birthday party!



Twelve cannons fired twelve shots

Announcing Twelveia's twelfth birthday

Twelve chariots each drawn by twelve horses

Arrived with twelve princes and twelve princesses

Each carrying twelve gifts for Twelveia



Twelve courses were cooked by twelve cooks

Wearing twelve hats

Mixing with twelve spoons



One cake was baked by twelve bakers

Twelveia cried twelve tears

Because she was disappointed

That there was only one cake

Until she climbed twelve steps

To the twelfth tower and saw ...

That the cake was a huge number 12!
