for(int i=1; i<=number; i++) {
System.out.print("On the ");
switch(i) {
case 1: System.out.print("1st"); break;
case 2: System.out.print("2nd"); break;
case 3: System.out.print("3rd"); break;
default: System.out.print(i+"th");
}
System.out.println(" day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
switch(i) {
case 12: System.out.print("twelve drummers drumming, ");
case 11: System.out.println("eleven pipers piping, ");
case 10: System.out.print("ten lords a-leping, ");

Except for 2 missing } at the end of your coding, it works.
You should initialize an array of 12 String items to store the text parts. Beware, the first index of an array is 0.
