 On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten Lords a leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,

Eight maids a milking,
Seven swans a swimmng,
Six geese a laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree…..
