Approximate 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 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.
(A)
On the ninth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids-a-milking,
Seven swans-a-swimming...
(B)
On the eighth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
Eight maids-a-milking,
Seven swans-a-swimming,
Six geese-a-laying...
You better not shout,
You better not cry,
You better not...
In a pear tree.
On the ninth,
No!
On the eighth,
No!
(A)
On the seventh day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
Seven swans-a-swimming,
Six geese-a-laying,
(B)
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves
(A)
Five golden rings,
(B)
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Four calling birds,
Three french hens,
Two turtle doves,
(A)
Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves
(B)
The boar's head in hand bear I, bedeck'd in bays,
And partridge in a pear tree.
On the eleventh day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
(A)
Ding, dong,
Ding, dong,
Ding, dong.
(B)
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 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
(A)
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
(B)
I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready,
Oh dreidel I shall play,
Oh dreidel, dreidel... sorry.
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
On the twelfth 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 (5 golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (5 golden rings)
I had Christmas down in Africa (5 golden rings)
Going to deck the halls and do the things we never had
Partridge in a big pear tree
Partridge in a big pear tree
