On the %s day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
Two turtle doves
Three French hens
Four calling birds
Five golden rings.
Six geese a-laying,
Seven swans a-swimming
Eight maids a-milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten lords a-leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming
