12 Days Of Christmas
Relient K · Christmas [2007]
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
What's a partridge, and what's a pear tree?
Well I don't know so please don't ask me
But I can bet those are terrible gifts to get
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Six geese a laying, 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 swimming,
Six geese a laying, 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 milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, 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 ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, ou-ee-ou-ah,
Four calling birds, three French hens,
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
What's a partridge, and what's a pear tree?
Well I don't know so please don't ask me
But I can bet those are terrible gifts to get
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, dof-men-gose-reens,
Four (clap-clap-clap), three French (pop!),
Two (clap-clap) doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, 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 drumming eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, five golden rings,
Four calling birds, three French hens,
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

The track exemplifies the group's ability to reinterpret familiar material through their distinct musical lens, maintaining the festive spirit while injecting the dynamic instrumentation fans expect from their catalog. As part of their holiday contributions, the song stands alongside other seasonal recordings that have helped define the band's presence in the Christian music scene during the mid-2000s.
