"Twelve Days Of Christmas" 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 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree
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
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
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
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
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
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
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Nine drummers drumming - and all that other stuff. You know what I'm talking about.
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Ten pipers piping? OUCH! What am I gonna do with all of them?
I mean, I really think this is quite enough, already. Oh my. Oh no!
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Uh - Eleven ladies dancing!
Girls, girls, girls, please. Go somewhere, sit down. This has go to stop.
Ugh. I have a headache. You know, it's starting to get a little crowded in here.
Oh no. Ohh, not again! On that twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Yep. You guessed it! Twelve lords a-leaping.
Huh! What am I gonna do with twelve lords a-leaping?! Do you realize I have ended up with:
twenty-two ladies dancing!
thirty pipers piping!
thirty-six drummers drumming!
forty maids a-milking!
forty-two swans a-swimming!
forty-two geese a-laying!
forty golden rings!
thirty-six calling birds!
thirty French hens!
twenty-two turtle doves!
AND twelve partridges in twelve pear trees!
I am SO out of here!
A partridge in a pear tree
