Twelve Days Of Christmas

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 golden rings! Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Six geese a-laying, five golden rings!

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

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

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

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

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Nine drummers drumming - and all that other stuff. You know what I'm talking about.

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Ten pipers piping? OUCH! What am I gonna do with all of them?

I mean, I really think this is quite enough, already. Oh my. Oh no!

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Uh - Eleven ladies dancing!

Girls, girls, girls, please. Go somewhere, sit down.

This has go to stop.

Ugh. I have a headache.

You know, it's starting to get a little crowded in here.

Oh no. Ohh, not again! On that twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Yep. You guessed it! Twelve lords a-leaping.

Huh! What am I gonna do with twelve lords a-leaping?! Do you realize I have ended up with:

twenty-two ladies dancing!

thirty pipers piping!

thirty-six drummers drumming!

forty maids a-milking!

forty-two swans a-swimming!

forty-two geese a-laying!

forty golden rings!

thirty-six calling birds!

thirty French hens!

twenty-two turtle doves!

AND twelve partridges in twelve pear trees!

I am SO out of here!
