To determine the total number of gifts received in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," we need to add up the number of gifts mentioned in each verse.

Let's go through the song and count the gifts. Here's the breakdown:

- On the first day of Christmas, the singer receives a partridge in a pear tree (1 gift).
- On the second day, the singer receives two turtle doves in addition to the previous day's gift (1 + 2 = 3 gifts).
- On the third day, it's three French hens plus the previous gifts (1 + 2 + 3 = 6 gifts).
- On the fourth day, the gifts are four calling birds, bringing the total to (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 gifts).
- On the fifth day, the singer receives five golden rings, along with all the previous gifts (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15 gifts).
- On the sixth day, it's six geese a-laying, which makes (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21 gifts).
- On the seventh day, the number of gifts becomes (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28 gifts).
- On the eighth day, eight maids a-milking are added to the previous gifts, making (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36 gifts).
- On the ninth day, the gifts amount to (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45 gifts).
- On the tenth day, ten lords a-leaping are joined by all the previous gifts, resulting in (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55 gifts).
- On the eleventh day, the singer receives eleven pipers piping, bringing the total to (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 = 66 gifts).
- Finally, on the twelfth day, twelve drummers drumming are added to the previous gifts, resulting in (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 78 gifts).

Therefore, in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," a total of 78 gifts were received.
