Months of the Year by Peter Weatherall




If you can’t remember
The months of the year
From January to December
I got a little song here

January  February  March  April
May  June  and  July
August  September
October  November
And don't forget December

Well, there are 365
Days in a year
52 weeks but only 12 months
In this little song here

January  February  March  April
May  June  and  July
August  September
October  November
And don't forget December

Now if you've got a calendar
It really pays to check it out
Turn the pages and you’ll see
What this song is all about

January  February  March  April
May  June  and  July
August  September
October  November
And don't forget December

If you find you still forget
The months of the year
Don’t you worry and don’t you fret
Sing my little song here

January  February  March  April
May  June  and  July
August  September

October  November
And don't forget December
