How do I get the combos of cases to print? I think I'm going crazy!!

import java.io.*;

public class ChristmasSong
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
int verse = (1-12);
int day = (13-24);

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

switch (day){
case 24: System.out.println ("On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 23: System.out.println ("On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 22: System.out.println ("On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 21: System.out.println ("On the 9th day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 20: System.out.println ("On the 8th day of Christams my true love gave to me");
case 19: System.out.println ("On the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 18: System.out.println ("On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 17: System.out.println ("On the 5th day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 16: System.out.println ("On the 4th day of Christmans my true love gave to me");
case 15: System.out.println ("On the 3rd day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 14: System.out.println ("On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
case 13: System.out.println ("On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me");
}
