"Twelve Days"

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A book that I'm not gonna read

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Six tennis balls that I'm gonna throw to my dog
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven bicycle-helmet gift card
Six tennis balls that I'm gonna throw to my dog
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eight batteries for my speakers
Seven bicycle-helmet gift card
Six tennis balls that I'm gonna throw to my dog
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Nine fishing tackle, baits and hooks
Eight batteries for my speakers
Seven bicycle-helmet gift card
Six tennis balls that I'm gonna throw to my dog
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten painting brushes for the chicken shed
Nine fishing tackle, baits and hooks
Eight batteries for my speakers
Seven bicycle-helmet gift card
Six tennis balls that I'm gonna throw to my dog
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven biscuits for my coffee
Ten painting brushes for the chicken shed
Nine fishing tackle, baits and hooks
Eight batteries for my speakers
Seven bicycle-helmet gift card
Six tennis balls that I'm gonna throw to my dog
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve I don't remember
Eleven biscuits for my coffee
Ten painting brushes for the chicken shed
Nine fishing tackle, baits and hooks
Eight batteries for my speakers
Seven bicycle-helmet gift card
Six tennis balls that I'm gonna throw to my dog
Five types of brandy
Four T-shirts with a funny logo
Three solar-system jigsaw puzzles
Two spoons, my favourite Chinese porcelain
And a book that I'm not gonna read
