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 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 go-old rings!
