Royal College of Music Chamber Choir - The Twelve Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the third day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love sent 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 sent 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?
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 sent to me
Six geese-a-laying

My true love sent to me
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids-a-milking
Seven swans-a-swimming

Oh, aw-e-aw
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

Well, I don't know so please don't ask me
But I can bet those are terrible gifts to get
