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 twelfth day of Christmas

My true love gave to me

Twelve drummers drumming

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 a partridge in a pear tree.
