12 Days of Christmas
Troy Cartwright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

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

Yup woo
Yup

On the sixth day of Christmas my
True love gave to me six geese a layin'

On the seventh day of Christmas my
True love gave to me seven swans a-swimmin'

On the eighth day of Christmas
The ninth day of Christmas
The tenth day of Christmas
Eleventh day of Christmas

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Troy Cartwright's version of "12 Days of Christmas" follow the traditional structure of the song, with each verse adding a new gift given by the true love. The song begins on the first day of Christmas when the true love gives the singer a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day, the gift is two turtle doves along with the previous gift of the partridge. This pattern continues with each subsequent verse, adding a new gift while keeping all the previous ones. The gifts mentioned in the song include birds such as French hens, calling birds, and swans, as well as other items like golden rings, geese, drummers, pipers, lords, ladies, and maids.


The song is a cumulative verse, which means that each verse repeats the gifts from all the previous days. This repetitive structure gives a sense of buildup and excitement as the gifts accumulate. While the traditional version of the song has religious symbolism, Cartwright's version seems to focus more on the fun and joyous aspects of the holiday season by including the exclamation "Yup woo!" and "Yup!" at various points in the song.

Ne pleure pas mon bébé d’amour ! Va t’en La petite fille trop mimi de Caroline Costa qui chante "Jingle bells " en version berceuse trop lente qui a du chagrin et qui te fait pleurer en sol majeure parce que c’est comme it’s a small World ! Bravo ! Il est parti ! Ne pleure pas et ne pleure plus !
Parce que nous on te fait un petit cadeau pour ariel, ce sera la chanson nord américaine qui est très joyeuse et très rapide et très festif qui donne le sourire et très rigolote qui te fait rire et qui s’appellera 12 days of christmas en version polka qui va danser avec une balalaïka russe , mais qui va chanter la chanson joyeuse qui te fait rire qui s'appelle "12 Days Of Christmas" interprétée par Caroline Costa, mais qui ressemble à la musique que c’est comme let it be des Beatles! Bien fait pour eux !
