Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 2]
On the second day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 5]
On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 6]
On the sixth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 7]
On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a laying
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 8]
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 gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 9]
On the ninth day of Christmas
Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a laying
Five gold rings
Pa-ram-pam-pam
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 10]
On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Pa-ram-pam-pam
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 11]
On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Pa-ram-pam-pam
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 12]
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Pa-ram-pam-pam
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
