Number 1 was solved with credit to bibblebub, as TURTLE DOVES, as in the song, by the time you get to the end of the song, you have sang "two turtle doves" 11 times (which makes for 22 by the end of the song).

[Lindywho]

Isn't 'I got 22 by the end' = turtle doves

[Lindywho]

Sorry, just seen someone already answered Turtle Doves :)
