[scorpiojo]

7 answered by bibblebub as turtle doves - 2 each day from 2 to 12 in the song

Long shot, but 6 could be 'shepherd' (While shepherds washed their socks by night-sung by naughty schoolboys)

[kettledrum]

Oh brilliant, Roopower! Of course it is!

While shepherds washed their socks by night
All seated on the ground,
A bar of Sunlight soap came down
And they began to scrub.

[kettledrum]

On reconsideration, I think they were seated 'round the tub'!
