Lyrics:
On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Two turtle doves.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Three French hens.
Two turtle doves.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Four calling birds.
Three French hens.
Two turtle doves.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Five gold rings.
Four calling birds.
Three French hens.
Two turtle doves.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent 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.
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love sent 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.
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Eight maids a-milking.
Seven swans a-swimming.
Six geese a-laying.
Five gold rings.
And then he sent four calling birds.
Three French hens.
Two turtle doves.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Nine ladies dancing.
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.
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Ten lords a-leaping.
Nine ladies dancing.
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.
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Eleven pipers piping gaily.
Ten lords a-leaping.
Nine ladies dancing gaily,
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.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Twelve drummers drumming.
Eleven pipers piping gaily.
Ten lords a-leaping daily.
Nine ladies dancing gaily.
Eight maids a-milking daily.
Seven swans a-swimming gaily.
Six geese a-laying daily.
Five gold rings.
Four calling birds.
Three French hens.
Two turtle doves.
And a partridge in a pear tree!
Pear little tree!
