I thought this would be a fun challenge for everyone and I'm curious to see the solutions people come up with.
Print the "12 Days Of Christmas" lyrics
On the first day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me,
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
...
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords-a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids-a-milking,
Seven swans-a-swimming,
Six geese-a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three french hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
Rules
- You don't have to worry about capitalization; the entire text can be case insensitive
- You can sensibly ignore any punctuation: hyphens can be spaces, and commas and periods can be ignored
- There should be a blank line between each verse
- You must ordinalize your numbers: "first day of Christmas", "Four calling birds", etc
- Shortest code wins
