Your syllable counts are off so the proposed changes do not actually fit with the lyrics of the song. Let's take Goblins, for example--a two syllable word. You are trying to replace "tur/tle doves", a three syllable phrase. Goblins would, of course, work as a substitution for "three French Hens" preserving both syllable count and a general feel of the original words.
For another example, "a par/tridge in a pear tree" is seven syllables; "tot/al par/ty kill" is five. You could fix this in two ways. First, you could change it to "party killings" and replace any of the four-syllable present participle lines ("12 lords / a / leap/ing" / "12 par/ty kill/ings"). Second, you could take advantage of tree and party rhyming and change it to "a wipe for the whole par/ty", though "party wipe" is more commonly used in MMOs than TTRPGs, which favour TPK.

Ok, thank you. I might make a better version sometime with on beat syllables.
