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
9 ladies dancing 8 maids a milking
8 maids a milking 7 swans a swimming
7 swans a swimming 6 geese a laying
6 geese a laying 5
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
7 swans a swimming here we come a wassailing
6 geese a laying among the leaves so
5 golden rings Faaa-laaa-la-la-la
4 calling birds
3 french hens
2 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)
10 lords a leaping (dong)
9 ladies dancing (ding)
8 maids a milking (dong)
7 swans a swimming (ding)
6 geese a laying (dong)
5 golden rings
4 calling birds
3 french hens
2 turtle doves
And rudolph the red nosed reindeer!

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

I have a little dradle, I made it out of clay, and when it's dry and ready, my dradle I shall play
Oh dradle, dradle, dradle, (sorry)

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

doo doo do do doot dooooooo (do de do de do de do de do de)
Doo doo do do doot dooooooo (do de do de do de do de do de)

On the twelfth day my true love gave to me
12 drummers drumming like olympus upon the serengeti
11 pipers piping, 10 lords a leaping

9 ladies dancing they were dancing for meeee
8 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 (5 golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (5 golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (5 golden rings)
Couldnt take the halls into the things we never had

doo doo do do doot dooooooo (do de do de do de do de do de)
Doo doo do do doot dooooooo (do de do de do de do de do de)
Partridge in a big pear tree (do de do de do de do de do de)
Partridge in a big pear tree
