The 12 Days of Christmas

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 fourth day of Christ
On the third 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 ninth day of Christmas (on the eighth day of Christmas)
My true love gave to me (my true love gave to me)
Nine ladies dancing (eight maids a milking)
Eight maids a milking (seven swans a swimming)
Seven swans a swimming (six geese a laying)
Six geese a laying, five
You better not shout, you better not cry, you better not in a pear tree

On the ninth (no)
On the eighth (no)

On the seventh day of Christmas (deck the halls)
My true love gave to me (with boughs of holly)
Seven swans a swimming (here we come a wassailing)
Six geese a laying (among the leaves so)
Five golden rings (fa-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves (here we come a wassailing)
The boar's head in hand bear I (among the leaves so green)
Bedeck'd with bays
And partridge in a pear tree

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
11 pipers piping (ding)
Ten lords a leaping (dong)
Nine ladies dancing (ding)
Eight maids a milking (dong)
Seven swans a swimming (ding)
Six geese a laying (dong)
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves
And Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay, and when it's dry and ready
A dreidel I shall play. Oh, dre-
Hey, hey, hey, 12 days of Christmas, eight days of Hanukkah (what?)
It's a Christmas medley (oh)

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me

On the twelfth day my true love gave to me
12 drummers drumming like Olympus above the Serengeti
11 pipers piping, ten lords a leaping

Nine ladies dancing they were dancing for me
Eight maids a milking they were milking just for me
I had Christmas down in Africa
I had Christmas down in Africa
I had Christmas down in Africa (five golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (five golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (five golden rings)
Gonna deck the halls and do the things we never had

Partridge in a big pear tree
Partridge in a big pear tree
