Como, Perry - Twelve Days Of Christmas Lyrics






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!

On the sixth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me...
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the seventh day of Christmas
my true love gave to me...
seven swans a swimmin'
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the eighth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me...
eight maids a milkin'
seven swans a swimmin'
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the ninth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me...

eight maids a milkin'
seven swans a swimmin'
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the tenth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me...
ten ladies dancin'
nine pipers pipin'
eight maids a milkin'
seven swans a swimmin'
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the eleventh day of Christmas

two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me...

Como, Perry Twelve Days Of Christmas Comments
  1. T.... T....

    I was 4 years old when father bought this LP which revolved rotated around our huge RCA victor throughout the Christmas season as father was a huge Como fan!. Perry had his own TV show too always the charming laid back gentleman that many ladies fancied with his fatherly touch and a velvet voice. He had more hits than Sinatra and Bing during the 40s/50s, which is making a statement!

  2. P.... ....

    Easily the best version

  3. C.... S....

    I really hate how he says Seven Swans a swimming. He sings it like Five Golden Rings, it's really annoying! The Christmas carols good, but can't he sing it like the way it's supposed to be traditionally sang. 🤨

  4. d.... r....

    Old school luv it brings back. Days luv peace good will

  5. T.... D....

    It drives me nuts that he messes up the order of 9-12.12 drummers, 11 pipers, 10 lords, 9 ladies dancing. Perry Como is awesome but I can’t stand his version of this song because of the order.

    T.... D....

    Bruh really?

    T.... D....

    Yeah, Bruh.

  6. J.... C....

    The song was bit off when they slow down with "7 swans are swimming" he's only supposed to slow down on "5 Golden Rings".

  7. C.... R....

    "Seven swans are swimmin"

  8. s.... _....

    Listening to this in the middle of January

  9. S.... D....

    Those swans are so saucy!

  10. N.... ....

    I was disappointed that this song was not played on our local (temporary) Christmas music station this year (93.9 WLIT FM). Thank Heaven for YouTube!

    N.... ....

    In chicago? They played it

  11. C.... W....

    If you listen carefully, he messes up the order of 9 through 12 in the song.

    C.... W....

    9-11 are wrong, 12 is correct . . .

    C.... W....

    @Comdesron17 here are the correct lyrics . . . listen to this version again while you read the lyrics . . .

    C.... W....

    I'm guessing he does that to keep the rhythm, and make it interesting.

    C.... W....

    I was watching a music channel on my TV and he just mixed up 9 and 10, he got the other ones in the right order

    C.... W....

    9-12 is pretty interchangable, so he's done nothing wrong here.

  12. s.... g....

    By the time I came along, this album was 14 years old, but I can vividly recall my mom playing this record on her record player. FOND MEMORIES.

  13. V.... G....

    Anyone else love the way he says partridge in a pear tree

    V.... G....

    And a partridge in a panty

  14. I.... M....

    The best version <3

  15. C.... T....

    I know the whole song without looking at the lyrics!

    C.... T....

    it reminds me of my childhood

  16. D.... C....

    🎄💟🎅

  17. A.... M....

    Wesh alors

  18. J.... f....

    You Want a Piece of Meeee

  19. s.... a....

    I miss Christmas so much why did it have to go by so fast 😭😭😭😭

    s.... a....

    The clue is in the song: there are 12 days of Christmas. We are on day 8 today! Merry Christmas!

    s.... a....

    shook as fuck finn: Merry belated Christmas and an early Happy New Year to you!

  20. M.... L....

    Love Perry Como Christmas! My favorite Album as a kid and as a grownup! He had the best background music and singers.

  21. A.... S....

  22. A.... ....

    S.... G....

  24. L.... P....

    I remember this record album soo well. We listened to it sooo many times,we drove my dad nuts. I used to be able to see the songs in my head. I will always have fond memories with this album by Perry Como!

    L.... P....

    +Lisa Powell-Takacs      And so will I also...........

    L.... P....

    Lisa Powell-Takacs - as with you my sister and I wore out this album, and I could visualize the songs!

  25. C.... G....

    Awesome song - I'm ready for Christmas now!

    C.... G....

    +Carlos Gonzales Me Too!!!

  26. C.... C....

    This is the only version I like

  27. S.... H....

    It certainly is compounding. And, someone needs to start thinking about giving. LOL

  28. S.... G....

    When I heard this on the radio I thought it was Burl Ives singing this song because Perry Como and Burl Ives sound so similar.

    S.... G....

    Yes, they do
    Frank sinatra kinda sounds like burl ives too

    S.... G....

    Chenee Thompson So does Judy Garland.

    S.... G....

    @eblackadder3 haha

  29. W.... O....

    My favorite version of this song. A lot of versions of this song I find annoying >:(

  30. C.... B....

    My Favorite Chritmas Album Of All Time

  31. g.... ....

    Great album--my sister and I wore it out listening to it! Perry's versions of all these songs always bring back great memories of being a kid at Christmas time!
