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 golden 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 golden 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 golden 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 golden 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 my true love gave to me
Nine drummers drumming, eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear
[Verse 10]
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten pipers pipping, nine drummers drumming, eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings
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 ladies dancing, ten pipers pipping, nine drummers drumming
Eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings
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 lords a-leaping, eleven ladies dancing, ten pipers pipping
Nine drummers drumming, eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
