On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
A Bartlett pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the third day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the sixth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Six cheese a-singles,
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the seventh day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Seven prawns in butter,
Six cheese a-singles,
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the eighth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Eight o'clock coffee,
Seven prawns in butter,
Six cheese a-singles,
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the ninth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Nine ladyfingers,
Eight o'clock coffee,
Seven prawns in butter,
Six cheese a-singles,
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the tenth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Ten cords of licorice,
Nine ladyfingers,
Eight o'clock coffee,
Seven prawns in butter,
Six cheese a-singles,
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the eleventh day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Eleven pickled peppers,
Ten cords of licorice,
Nine ladyfingers,
Eight o'clock coffee,
Seven prawns in butter,
Six cheese a-singles,
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree.
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve donuts dripping,
Eleven pickled peppers,
Ten cords of licorice,
Nine ladyfingers,
Eight o'clock coffee,
Seven prawns in butter,
Six cheese a-singles,
Five onion rings,
Four chicken birds,
Three French fries,
Two turtle pies,
And a Bartlett pear tree!
