Frank Sinatra — The Twelve Days Of Christmas

(not Frank's version, this is the traditional) On the (first) day of Christmas my true love sent to me Twelve lords leaping, Eleven ladies dancing, Ten pipers piping Nine drummers drumming, Eight maids milking, Seven swans swimming Six geese laying, Five gold rings Four calling birds, Three french hens, Two turtle doves And a partridge in a pear tree (this is Frank's version) On the (first) day of Christmas, we gave our loving dad (my children gave to me) Twelve dozen kisses, Eleven jars of jelly, Ten silken (linen) hankies Nine games of scrabble, Eight pairs of cufflinks, Seven books of fiction Six woolen nightshirts, Five ivory combs Four meerschaum pipes, Three golf clubs, Two silken scarfs And a most lovely lavender tie
