I am pretty new to C++ and the whole programming bit. I am trying to write a program that will display the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song, and need some help... I see there is a problem using apstring to intialize day_of_christmas, and don't know what else to use. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Code:
/*
Josh
christmas.cpp
*/

#include <iostream.h>
#include <apstring.h>

int main()
{
	apstring day_of_christmas;
	
	switch(day_of_christmas) {
	case 12:
		cout << "Twelth";
	case 11:
		cout << "Eleventh";
	case 10:
		cout << "Tenth";
	case 9:
		cout << "Ninth";
	case 8:
		cout << "Eighth";
	case 7:
		cout << "Seventh";
	case 6:
		cout << "Sixth";
	case 5:
		cout << "Fifth";
	case 4:
		cout << "Fourth";
	case 3:
		cout << "Third";
	case 2:
		cout << "Second";
	case 1:
		cout << "First";
	}

	cout << "On the " << day_of_christmas << " day of Christmas, " << endl;
	cout << "My true love gave to me " << endl;

	switch(day_of_christmas) {
	case 12:
		cout << "Twelve drummers drumming";
	case 11:
		cout << "Eleven pipers piping";
	case 10:
		cout << "Ten lords a-leaping";
	case 9:
		cout << "Nine ladies dancing";
	case 8:
		cout << "Eight maids a-milking";
	case 7:
		cout << "Seven swans a-swimming";
	case 6:
		cout << "Six geese a laying";
	case 5:
		cout << "Five golden rings!";
	case 4:
		cout << "Four calling birds";
	case 3:
		cout << "Three french hens";
	case 2:
		cout << "Two turtle doves";
	case 1:
		cout << "A partridge in a pear tree";
	}

	return 0;
}
