The Twelve Days of Christmas
David Seville and The Chipmunks Lyrics

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me
At the beginning of the Christmas season, my beloved sent me a special gift

A partridge in a pear tree
A bird sitting on a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Continuing the tradition, my beloved sent me another present

Two turtledoves
Two doves that symbolize love and peace

And a partridge in a pear tree
Still accompanied by the partridge resting on the pear tree

On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me
As the days go by, my beloved keeps sending me delightful surprises

Three French hens
Three hens from France, perhaps representing faith, hope, and love

Two turtledoves
Joined by the two turtledoves from before

And a partridge in a pear tree
And the partridge still perched on the pear tree

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
With each passing day, my beloved continues to shower me with gifts

Four calling birds
Four singing birds that bring joy and melody

Three French hens
Accompanied by the three hens from before

Two turtledoves
And the two turtledoves still showcasing their affection

And a partridge in a pear tree
To top it off, the partridge remains comfortably on the pear tree

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
As the holiday spirit grows, my beloved gifts me even more

Five golden rings
Five rings made of precious gold, symbolizing commitment and love

Four calling birds
Joined by the four singing birds that continue to serenade me

Three French hens
With the three hens still representing important values

Two turtledoves
And the affectionate turtledoves from earlier

And a partridge in a pear tree
All accompanied by the content partridge on the pear tree

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
The surprises keep coming, bringing happiness to my heart

Six geese a-laying
Six geese diligently laying eggs, a symbol of fertility and abundance

Five golden rings
Accompanied by the five golden rings that represent everlasting love

Four calling birds
And the four singing birds that bring joy to my ears

Three French hens
Joined by the loyal French hens from previous days

Two turtledoves
Together with the loving turtledoves that constantly remind me of affection

And a partridge in a pear tree
With the partridge still peacefully perched on the pear tree

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me
The joyful tradition continues, bringing me more delightful presents

Seven swans a-swimming
Seven elegant swans gracefully swimming, representing beauty and grace

Six geese a-laying
Accompanied by the diligent geese that keep laying eggs

Five golden rings
And the cherished golden rings that symbolize everlasting love

Four calling birds
Joined by the four melodious birds that fill the air with their song

Three French hens
Continuing with the three faithful hens representing important values

Two turtledoves
And the affectionate turtledoves that remind me of love's presence

And a partridge in a pear tree
With the partridge still peacefully resting on the pear tree

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
My beloved surprises me with more gifts, bringing me joy

Eight maids a-milking
Eight maids diligently milking cows, symbolizing hard work and sustenance

Seven swans a-swimming
Accompanied by the graceful swans that effortlessly glide through the water

Six geese a-laying
And the dedicated geese that continue to lay eggs

Five golden rings
Joined by the beloved golden rings that represent eternal love

Four calling birds
Together with the harmonious birds that fill my surroundings with music

Three French hens
Continuing with the three hens embodying important values

Can we stop now, Dave?
Can we pause this gift-giving, David? I'm starting to feel overwhelmed

And a partridge in a pear tree
However, the partridge remains serenely perched on the pear tree

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Despite my weariness, my beloved continues the tradition by sending more presents

Nine ladies dancing
Nine joyous ladies gracefully dancing, symbolizing celebration and happiness

Eight maids a-milking
Joined by the hardworking maids who tirelessly milk the cows

Seven swans a-swimming
Still accompanied by the graceful swans gliding through the water

I'm getting tired, Dave!
I'm growing weary, Dave! The constant stream of gifts is becoming overwhelming

Five golden rings
And the treasured golden rings that symbolize eternal love

Four calling birds
Joined by the melodious birds that continue to bring me joy

Three French hens
Accompanied by the steadfast French hens representing important values

Two turtledoves
And the loving turtledoves that remind me of affectionate moments

And a partridge in a pear tree
Still accompanied by the tranquil partridge perched on the pear tree

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Amidst my fatigue, my beloved persists in sending more presents

Ten lords a-leaping
Ten lords energetically leaping, representing a jubilant celebration

Nine ladies dancing
Joined by the graceful dancing ladies, spreading joy and festivity

Eight maids a-milking
Continuing with the diligent maids, ensuring sustenance flows

Seven swans a-swimming
And the elegant swans that gracefully navigate the water's surface

I'm getting tired!
I can't help but feel tired! The constant influx of gifts is overwhelming

Five golden rings
Yet, the cherished golden rings continue to symbolize everlasting love

Four calling birds
Joined by the melodious birds that persist in their joyful song

Three French hens
Accompanied by the faithful French hens embodying important values

Two turtledoves
Alongside the tender turtledoves evoking beautiful memories

And a partridge in a pear tree
With the tranquil partridge perched on the pear tree as before

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Despite my exhaustion, my beloved surprises me with more gifts

Eleven pipers peeping
Eleven musicians playing pipes and creating a cheerful atmosphere

Ten milking jumpers
Ten jumpers specifically meant for milking cows, symbolizing agricultural traditions

Nine jumping
Nine individuals engaged in lively jumps, exuding merriment

Eight maids a mopping
The maids diligently cleaning the surroundings, maintaining cleanliness

Si-Seven swans a swimming
Alongside the graceful swans smoothly swimming through the water

Four geese loose
Four geese accidentally set free, creating a minor disturbance

Now cut that out!
Enough of this chaos! Please stop the unexpected surprises, Dave

Five golden rings
Yet, the significant golden rings persist as symbols of love and commitment

Four calling birds
Joined by the melodious birds that continue their joyful chorus

Three French hens
Continuing with the faithful French hens representing important virtues

Two turtledoves
And the affectionate turtledoves that embody loving relationships

And a partridge in a pear tree
Still accompanied by the peaceful partridge resting on the pear tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
The final day of this eventful period, my beloved surprises me once again

Twelve drummers drumming
Twelve drummers playing their instruments, creating a lively musical display

Eleven pipers piping
Joining the pipers who continue to fill the air with delightful melodies

Ten lords a leaping
The energetic lords engaging in joyful leaps, celebrating the occasion

Nine ladies dancing

And a partridge in a pear tree!
Ending this festive tradition with the calm partridge on the pear tree
