The 12 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 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 maids a milking
7 maids a milking 6 maids a milking
6 maids a milking 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 dreidel, I made it out of clay, and
when it's dry and ready, my dreidel I shall play
Oh dreidel......dreidel....dreidel..................

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 (ba ba ba doo)
I had Christmas down in Africa (ba ba ba doo)
