上面這一首輕快的聖誕歌曲，是很俏皮的一首歌，歌詞在描述他心愛的人在聖誕節的12天裡每天送給他的東西，每天加一樣東西，而且心加上的東西數量逐漸增加。歌詞越來越長，上面這樣寫完，看起來是不是像＂樹中有樹＂呢？

我在網路找資料時，還有人把它設計成數學題目呢！比方說，十二天之後，他到底收到了多少 partridge (鷓鴣)呢？是這樣計算的：每天收一隻，最後就有十二隻囉！

如果是 turtle doves (斑鳩)，從第二天開始送，每天送兩隻，最後會有多少隻呢？

第三天開始送 French hens，最後會有多少隻呢？

第四天開始送 calling birds，最後會有多少隻呢？

第五天開始送 golden rings 金色戒指，最後會有多少個呢？
