Song 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 turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three French hens, two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
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 calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
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 calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
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 calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
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 dancing, eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the eleventh of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven drummers drumming, ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Twelve pipers piping, eleven drummers drumming, ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
And a partridge in a pear tree
