Le douzième jour de Noël 
mon amour m’a donné 
douze éléphants 
onze feuilles pendantes 
dix petits bonbons 
neuf grands ballons 
huit brosses à dents 
sept muguets blancs 
six paires de gants 
cinq livres de poche 
quatres oreilles 
trois nounours 
deux eaux de toilette 
et un cochon dans un pull 

By the way, the title is "les douze jours de Noël". Of course, it's the same pattern as in English. This is the last verse.
