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

1. A partridge in a pear tree

2. Two turtle doves

3. Three French hens

4. Four calling birds

5. Five golden rings

6. Six geese a-laying

7. Seven swans a-swimming

8. Eight maids a-milking

9. Nine ladies dancing

10. Ten lords a-leaping

11. ‘Leven pipers piping

12. Twelve drummers drumming
