Extremely rare 1960's Christmas soul single by Tiny Herman and The Milkmen. Tiny wrote this song about the eighth day of Christmas, saying "it's by far the most important day of the twelve days of Christmas". This holiday hit single was at the top of the pop charts for exactly eight days in December 1968 before being knocked off by Aretha Franklin's feminist anthem "Think".

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby! I don't want no birds in a pear tree
I just want to watch these ladies squeeze
Ooh yeah!

[Chorus 1]
Eight maids a milking (eight maids)
I want eight maids a milking (that's hot!)
Give me eight maids a milking (f*ck yeah)
I need eight maids a milking (that's a lot of milk!)

[Verse 2]
Baby! I don't need any of those fancy gifts
I just want to see those awesome t*ts
Woo! Yeah

[Chorus 2]
Eight maids a milking (eight maids)
I want eight maids a milking (that's hot!)
Give me eight maids a milking (f*ck yeah)
I need eight maids a milking (that's a lot of milk!)

[Bridge]
There's ten lords a leaping to peep through the window
Trying to see all that sweet milk flow (oh yeah!)
The pipers all start piping with their pipes
With their skin flutes they bang out tunes all night
(Woo!)

[Verse 3]
Baby! I don't care about those stocking fillers
I just want to see those sweet sweet milkers
Oh yeah!

[Chorus 3]
Eight maids a milking (eight maids)
I want eight maids a milking (that's hot!)
Give me eight maids a milking (f*ck yeah)
I need eight maids a milking (that's a lot of milk!)

[Chorus 4]
Eight maids a milking (eight maids)
I want eight maids a milking (that's hot!)
Give me eight maids a milking (f*ck yeah)
I need eight maids a milking (that's a lot of milk!)

Merry Milkmas!
