Lyrics[]

On the first day of Christmas
I gave my loving dad
A most lovely lavender tie

On the second day of Christmas
I gave my loving dad
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the third day of Christmas
I gave my loving dad
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the fourth day of Christmas
We gave our loving dad
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the fifth day of Christmas
We gave our loving dad
Five ivory combs
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the sixth day of Christmas
We gave our loving dad
Six woolen nightshirts
Five ivory combs
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the seventh day of Christmas
I gave my loving dad
Seven books of fiction
Six woolen nightshirts
Five ivory combs
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the eighth day of Christmas
I gave my loving dad
Eight pairs of cufflinks
Six woolen nightshirts
Five ivory combs
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the ninth day of Christmas
I gave my pretty dad
Nine games of scrabble
Eight pairs of cufflinks
Six woolen nightshirts
Five ivory combs
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the tenth day of Christmas
We gave our loving dad
Ten linen hankies
Nine games of scrabble
Eight pairs of cufflinks
Six woolen nightshirts
Five ivory combs
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the eleventh day of Christmas
They gave their loving dad
Eleven jars of jelly
Ten linen hankies
Nine games of scrabble
Eight pairs of cufflinks
Six woolen nightshirts
Five ivory combs
Four meerschaum pipes
Three golf clubs
Two silken scarves
And a most love lavender tie

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My children gave to me
Twelve hugs and kisses
Eleven jars of jelly
Ten 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
