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 golden ring
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 golden ring
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 golden ring
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the eight day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying
Five golden ring
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 lords a leaping
Eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying
Five golden ring
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 ladies dancing
Nine lords a leaping
Eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying
Five golden ring
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
Ten ladies dancing
Nine lords a leaping
Eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying
Five golden ring
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
Ten ladies dancing
Nine lords a leaping
Eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying
Five golden ring
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
