But it literally did nail it?

It's giving you a list of the items that were received in the 12 Days of Christmas. And it's correct.

12*1=12

11*2=22

10*3=30

And so on.

If you wanted the lyrics, that's a different question.

If I wanted an autistically over-literal answer, I'd either ask myself (or come to Lemmy)

How is it autistic? It's just what he says he gave her.

That's what autism is. Normal people "read between the lines" or something. At least that's what I've been told

The gifts weren't given recursively. Though Christmas would be a lot more exciting if they were.

It's literally what the song says. On the first day, I got a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day, I got 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pair tree.

If you think the gifts weren't given recursively it's because you believe it should be that way, not because you're paying any attention to the lyrics as they're written.

The song explicitly says they are given recursively
