Artist/Band: Perry Como
Lyrics for Song: Twelve Days Of Christmas
Lyrics for Album: Christmas With Perry Como [1994]



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 third day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!



On the fourth day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Four calling birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!



On the fifth 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 sixth day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Six geese a layin'

Five golden rings!

Four calling birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!



On the seventh day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin'

Five golden rings!

Four calling birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!



On the eighth day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Eight maids a milkin'

Seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin'

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

My true love gave to me . . .

Nine pipers pipin'

Eight maids a milkin'

Seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin'

Five golden rings!

Four calling birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!



On the tenth day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Ten ladies dancin'

Nine pipers pipin'

Eight maids a milkin'

Seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin'

Five golden rings!

Four calling birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!



On the eleventh day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Eleven lords a leapin'

Ten ladies dancin'

Nine pipers pipin'

Eight maids a milkin'

Seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin'

Five golden rings!

Four calling birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!



On the twelfth day of christmas

My true love gave to me . . .

Twelve drummers drummin'

Eleven lords a leapin'

Ten ladies dancin'

Nine pipers pipin'

Eight maids milkin'

Seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin'

Five golden rings!

Four calling birds

Three french hens

Two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree!
