Thank you to Daan Daan for the idea of splitting a concatenated string.

I had originally included a switching statement to get the "and" on the partridge for all but the first verse. But, because the question absolves us of punctuation, we can just append the "and" to the doves.

This results in line feeds as follows:

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 third day of christmas my true love gave to me three french hens two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
