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!
