The 12 Days of Christmas Lyrics[Verse 1]
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 Chris--
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
[Verse 2]
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
(On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me)
Nine ladies dancing, eight ladies dancing
(Eight maids a-milking, seven maids a-milking)
Seven ladies dancing, six ladies dancing
(Six maids a-milking)
Five!
Better not shout, you better not cry
You better not, in a pear tree

[Bridge]
On the ninth--
No!
On the eight--
No!

[Verse 3]
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
(Deck the halls with boughs of holly)
Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying
(Here we come a-wassailing, among the leaves so)
Five golden rings!
(Fa la la la)
Four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves
(Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green)
The boar's head in hand bear I bedeck'd with bays
And partridge in a pear tree
[Verse 4]
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven pipers piping, ten lords a-leaping
(Ding, dong)
Nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking
(Ding, dong)
Seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying
(Ding, dong)
Five golden rings, four calling birds
Three french hens, two turtle doves
And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

[Verse 5]
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 dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
(Whoa, whoa, hey. Twelve days of Christmas. Eight days of Hannukah)
Oh...
(It's a Christmas medley)

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

[Verse 6]
On the 12th day my true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming like Olympus above the Serengeti
Eleven 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
[Outro]
Partridge in a big pear tree
Partridge in a big pear tree2
