All right, I guess it's bad form for me to just complain and not contribute. So here is my attempt to improve the rhythm. It's not perfect, but it is closer to the original, and more singable IMO. I will just post the final verse.

On the 12th day of Christmas, Go-Onger gave to me

G12 formation, one epic bastard, too many combos, nine total rangers,
independent mecha, a seven mecha combo, endless Bouken spirit
A family team
Four Deka 'bots, 3 Ninja Ways, two Juuken schools, and the first full extra ranger.

hmm... The only edits I don't really like are 5, 4, kind of if-y on 2, and the way 1 was edited doesn't make too much sense... It makes it sound like there have been extra rangers before, but only parts of them, like an arm of an extra ranger or something...

I dont see why the original needs improvement, I sang it just fine 7 times or so. and If I hadnt caught a cold from doing so outside with no coat I would totally record myself to show you that it;s fine. It's a matter of pronunciation and placement is all.
PANTS.
That's right.

What's wrong with "two Juuken schools"? It fits perfectly with "two turtle doves".

As for 4... well, I just hate the term "robo" in general.

Line 1 is difficult. I'm not entirely happy about my version. But I don't think adding twenty syllables to cram in all the information is a good idea.

Well that's the thing about parodies, the syllable count doesn't have to match, it just has to match with the tune.
