Lyrics to The 12 Days of
Christmas
Here are the basic lyrics (but not every
verse, as they follow a pattern).
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 turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree.
(Keeps adding one gift each day until the final verse,
which is:)
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to
me:
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
