Taking Back Sunday - 12 Days of Christmas: Christmas Is for the Birds lyrics

On the first day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Two turtledoves and a partridge
In a pear tree on the third day
Of Christmas my true love
Sent to me three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge
In a pear tree

On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Four calling birds three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge
In a pear tree

On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Five golden rings five golden rings
Four calling birds three french hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge
In a pear tree on the sixth day
Of Christmas my true love
Sent to me six geese a laying
Five golden rings five golden rings
Four calling birds three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge
In a pear tree

On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a laying five golden rings
Five golden rings four calling birds
Three French hens two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the eighth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Eight maids a-milking seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a laying five golden rings
Five golden rings four calling birds
Three French hens two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the ninth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Nine ladies dancing eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming six geese a laying
Five golden rings five golden rings
Four calling birds three french hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge
In a pear tree

On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
Ten lords a leaping nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a laying five golden rings
Five golden rings four calling birds
Three french hens two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
I sent 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
Five golden rings four calling birds
Three French hens two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent 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 five golden rings
Four calling birds three french hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge
In a pear tree and a partridge
In a pear tree
