On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
An orangutan in a fig tree.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Two silvered langurs and an orangutan in a fig tree.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Three french men, two silvered langurs and an orangutan in a fig tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Four calling gibbons, three french men...
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Five rambutan...
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Six flying hornbills...
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Seven crocs-a-swimming...
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Eight proboscis monkeys...
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Nine giant geckos...
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Ten thousand ants...
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Eleven bleeding leechbites...
On the twelth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Twelve million mosquitoes...
