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 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

This is an awsome song! Really cool, and high spirited when on video. It's funny, but at the same time very talented!
