[Traditional version]
On the (first) day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Twelve lords leaping, Eleven ladies dancing, Ten pipers piping
Nine drummers drumming, Eight maids milking, Seven swans swimming
Six geese laying, Five gold rings
Four calling birds, Three french hens, Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree
[Frank's version]
On the (first) day of Christmas, we gave our loving dad (my children gave to me)
Twelve dozen kisses, Eleven jars of jelly, Ten silken hankies,
Nine games of scrabble, Eight pairs of cufflinks, Seven books of fiction,
Six golden lighters, Five ivory combs,
Four mission lights, Three golf clubs, Two silken scarfs,
And a most lovely lavender tie.

Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1915, Sinatra began his musical career in the 1930s with Harry James' band and later with Tommy Dorsey's. In 1942 he made his solo debut with a recording contract with Columbia Records. His warm, powerful and versatile voice, along with his magnetic charisma, made him one of the most beloved singers in the world. Sinatra has interpreted a wide range of musical genres, from jazz to pop, swing and light music. Among his most famous songs are "My Way", "Fly Me to the Moon", "New York, New York" and "Strangers in the Night".
