When I first heard "The Twelve Days of Christmas" on the radio in my parents' car, I could not understand the lyrics very well. I thought the last line of each verse was "And a parpridge pinapear tree." I have spelled them exactly the way I heard them about about age six. I had never heard of a partridge, let alone a parpridge. I really didn't know what a pinapear tree was. I still think it is a rather silly song.
Merry Christmas!
