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

A partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: I have to climb up to get it.

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

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: Oh, I can hear it cooing.

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.

Anthony: When I climb up the pear tree, I'm gonna call it "Peary".

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.

Anthony: Hello, Partridge. My name's Anthony.

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.

Anthony: Partridge, do you mind if I call you "Peary"?

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

Six geese a-laying, five golden rings,

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: I guess we better talk about your living arrangements.

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

Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying,

Five golden rings, Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: Beautiful pears on this tree.

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

Eight days a-milking, seven swans a-swimming,

Six geese a-laying, five golden rings,

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: (in bird talk) I'm talking to you, Peary. (bird talk)

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

Nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking,

Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying,

Five golden rings,

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: Peary, will this branch support for bizarre?

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

Ten lords a-leaping, nine ladies dancing,

Eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming,

Six geese a-laying, five golden rings,

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: Peary, I'm on the ground looking up. You look fantastic.

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

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,

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: (in bird talk) Oh, what? You're hungry, Peary? Yo!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave 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

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Anthony: Do you know what? After all those beautiful presents, thank you for all those lovely presents. But you know what, Peary, Peary the Partridge? Stay up in that pear tree and enjoy the pears. (laughing)
