Kinda did depending on how you look at it. 5 golden rings is said 8 times, for a total of 40. Same appears to be true for all the other items but I'm not checking them all.

In the song that's what they send every single day two French hens every single day are sent so yeah at the end they do send a lot of French hens.

Is the pear tree included? Do I get one pear tree? 12 pear trees? No pear tree? This might be a dealbreaker, so take your time answering.

It's assumed that you already have a pear tree; the partridges are just being installed into your pre-existing tree. Don't be greedy. Mature fruit trees are expensive.

Ooh dang, AKA Callery Pears, AKA invasive pest. Our state forestry/wildlife department did a limited time buyback of those, dead or alive. Once.

One nice spring morning I had my windows open. I smelled something awful and started looking around for where the dog had ruined the carpet. Nope, it was just the neighbor's Bradford pear in full bloom. Such a disgusting scent.
