THE TWELVE DAYS OF CRISTMAS

On the first day of Christmas my true love brought to me
A partridge in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas, my true love brought to me
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the third day of Christmas, my true love brought to me
Three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love brought 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 brought to me
Five golden 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 brought 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

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love brought 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

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love brought 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

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love brought to me
Nine pipers piping, 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

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love brought to me
Ten ladies dancing, nine pipers piping, 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

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love a brought to me
Eleven lords a leaping, ten ladies dancing, nine pipers piping
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

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love brought to me
Twelve fiddlers fiddling, eleven lords a leaping, ten ladies dancing
Nine pipers piping, 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
