The Twelve Days of Christmas
Lyrics
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Five golden rings, four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Six geese a laying, five golden rings, four mocking birds
Three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying
Five golden rings, four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Nine ladies waiting, eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten lords a-leaping, nine ladies waiting, eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven pipers piping, ten lords a-leaping, nine ladies waiting
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming, eleven pipers piping, ten lords a-leaping, nine ladies waiting
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four mocking birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
