Months of the Year – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
January, February, next comes March.
March through winter time
March! March! March!
April showers bring May flowers.
Summer’s almost here.
June, July, August!
Soon we´re back in school.
September and October,
November, and don’t forget December!
January, February, March, and April,
May, June, July!
August, September, October, November,
And don’t forget December!
These are the months of the year
on the calendar.
Twelve months in all for fun
…and work, and play, and take a holiday…
January, February, next comes March.
March through winter time
March! March! March!
April showers bring May flowers.
Summer’s almost here.
June, July, August!
Soon we´re back in school.
September and October,
November, and don’t forget December!
January, February, March, and April,
May, June, July!
August, September, October, November,
And don’t forget December!
