Only if you assume that everything on the list was additive to the initial gifts every time. I think you can infer from the context of the song, the holiday, how gift-giving works, etc. that they were just appending to the list of gifts each day.
But those are the sort of things that LLMs are incapable of doing.
That's what the lyrics say though.
On the X day of Christmas my true love gave to me, X [item], X-1 [item], etc.
The song explicitly states they give this stuff every day.
Only if you take it literally and I don't think it was intended to be taken that way.
"on the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree."
It takes a bit of mental gymnastics to assert that on the second day of Christmas he did not send two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
If I said yesterday I gave my friend a pork pie and today I gave my friend some spaghetti and a pork pie, you would not come to the conclusion that my friend did not receive a second pork pie.
I'd say it depends on whether you were singing it to me or not. Songs kind of have to keep these things brief a lot of the time. Also, the lyrics of this song don't make much sense to begin with. 🤷
