A Song and a Christmas Tree
On the first day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
A song and a Christmas tree
On the second day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the third day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the fourth day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the fifth day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(A shining star)
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the sixth day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Little silver bells)
(A shining star)
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the seventh day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Candles a glowing)
(Little silver bells)
(A shining star)
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the eighth day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Gold and silver tinsel)
(Candles a glowing)
(Little silver bells)
(A shining star)
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the ninth day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(A guardian angel)
(Gold and silver tinsel)
(Candles a glowing)
(Little silver bells)
(A shining star)
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the tenth day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Some mistletoe)
(A guardian angel)
(Gold and silver tinsel)
(Candles a glowing)
(Little silver bells)
(A shining star)
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the eleventh day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
(Gifts for one and all)
(Some mistletoe)
(A guardian angel)
(Gold and silver tinsel)
(Candles a glowing)
(Little silver bells)
(A shining star)
(Four colored lights)
(Three boughs of holly)
(Two candy canes)
And a song for the Christmas tree
On the twefth day of Christmas
My good friends brought to me
